A report like this should be instructive to two groups of people, though it's likely neither of them will listen to it:

1) the black establishment, which never seems to see any reason except "racism" for the failure of black kids to achieve in school and get someplace in life; and

2) the liberals and libertarian-type conservatives who insist that government policies should never be formulated with marriage and family structure in mind.

Well, as a “libertarian-type conservative”, I stick to my views. Government is a failure in virtually every area it gets involved in. Why should we think it would be different for “marriage and family structure”?

I agree that absent fathers are at the heart of this problem, and many (cultural) liberals may true to ignore that fact. But it’s not something that can be changed through government.
