Pew: Majority of U.S. Kids in Broken Homes

The Pew Research Center reports for the first time a majority of American children do not live in what we think of as the traditional home.
Less than half (46%) of U.S. kids younger than 18 years of age are living in a home with two married heterosexual parents in their first marriage. This is a marked change from 1960, when 73% of children fit this description, and 1980, when 61% did, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of recently-released American Community Survey (ACS) and Decennial Census data. 
It is no wonder our society is deteriorating - the wrong people are having most of the children. As a result the U.S. middle class is disappearing. Dysfunctional people have dysfunctional children, soon to be a majority in this forlorn land.

See what Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) says about the importance of the family, as quoted in The Washington Times.
The family is the first and most important institution of our society and it also serves as the foundation of American exceptionalism.
Deterioration of the family is a major reason why our great land is in trouble.
