The last part is priceless.

From a great article I read recently:

“A solid, two-parent home is critical for a child’s future. There is simply no shortcut."

“ Poverty, even extreme poverty, is surmountable. What is nearly impossible to overcome is the instability—the psychological havoc—created by broken homes. Especially for boys.”

I agree with this strongly, but saying this publicly is taboo. Implying that children need a nuclear family is widely considered ignorant at best, bigoted at worst.
