Poverty, Dropouts, Pregnancy, Suicide: What The Numbers Say About Fatherless Kids
June 18, 20176:04 AM ET
The growing number of fatherless children in this country poses one of the the most serious problems in education today, according to best-selling author Alan Blankstein...
Dropping out of school, growing up fatherless and incarceration appear to be connected. One study you cite from 2012 titled, "The Vital Importance of Paternal Presence in Children's Lives," shows that seven out of 10 high school dropouts are fatherless...
The research that I've seen says that girls are twice as likely to suffer from obesity without the father present. They're four-times more likely to get pregnant as teenagers. Boys are more likely to act out, which is why we're more aware [of how they're affected], but if a young girl is imploding, we don' t see it.
Race and class matter, as it does in everything in America, but the overall trend [of fatherlessness] is up for all families. So we're looking at a 20 percent rate among white fathers who are absent in their children's lives, 31 percent for Hispanics, 57 percent for African-Americans.

Illegitimacy is not a life style choice that we do not have the right to condemn. It is a growing and serious problem that should concern us all.
Oh right....none of that does.
