The left has for years. In the 50s, single mothers (with kids born out of wedlock, not widows) had to hide. Today it is pretty much celebrated. And we wonder why kids (especially boys) have issues.

I briefly saw the mother of one of the Columbine killers on the TV the other night - didn’t watch it, but noticed there was no father in sight. Was she a single mother - did the killer have a positive male role model at all?

I just read Mrs. Kleborn’s book. The father was in the home. It was several years after the Columbine shooting that they got divorced. Of course it is written from her point of view, but it did seem like a normal household. Parents married many years, involved with kids’ school activities, house always open to kids’ friends. They may have been a little indulgent but in a normal middle class way, not the affluenza teen way. She was devastated and dumbfounded by the shooting/suicide. The fact is some kids go off the rails even when raised in a “normal” home.
