"The social-science evidence is in: though it may benefit the adults
involved, the dissolution of intact two-parent families is harmful to large numbers of
children. Moreover, the author argues, family diversity in the form of increasing
numbers of single-parent and stepparent families does not strengthen the social fabric
but, rather, dramatically weakens and undermines society."
[Also see the transcript of an online conference
in which Whitehead discusses her October, 1994, cover story, "The Failure of
Sex Education." In addition, see the collection of other articles published
in The Atlantic Monthly on Family ]
"Comprehensive sex education," mandated in seventeen states, is the
educational fad of the hour, yet there is little evidence that it
"works"—prevents teenage pregnancy and stanches the spread of sexually
transmitted disease. Defended by its professional-class originators as "getting
real" about teenage sex, it fails to speak to the grim reality of what the author
calls "the new sexual revolution" among the young.

The experiences of a man and his wife who devoted themselves to adopting
and raising three children afflicted with fetal alcohol syndrome. If you have any
doubts on whether alcohol consumption by a mother will have any impact on her unborn child
or children whom she nurses, this book will dispel them. FAS is terribly devastating
and cripples children for life.
by Marilyn I. Kwong, Kim Bartholomew and Donald G, Dutton from the Canadian Journal of
Behavioural Science (1999), 31:3 (p. 150-160). This is also available in PDF format.
This is a reanalysis of the data from the Kennedy and Dutton study (1987) that was used so
strenuously in produing "protection of women" laws in Canada. Guess, what?
Violence levels are reciprocal and not sex specific. The bidirectionality of violence
is seen in the same proportions — close to equal — as seen in other studies
around the world.
