U.S. society and culture today are in decline. It leaps out at us from the pages of newspapers and television screens. It appears in the pronouncements and policies of government, business, the news media and academia. Our core values and ideals – the rule of the people, freedom of speech and assembly, of the press and religion, due process of law, equality under the law – are under attack and far less by outside forces than by us. (By “us” I mean mostly the power elites C. Wright Mills described in his 1956 book by that name.)
Money shot: It is the shocking discrepancy between what we know about fatherlessness and what we fail to do about it that so condemns this moment in our history. We know its devastating effects, but we do essentially nothing to correct them. Indeed, fatherlessness is mostly a result of conscious public policy. (BTW, the Geary article is paywalled.)
