The daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, started this day in 1910 to honor her father. People at the founding of this country recognized the importance of a father and mother to raise well rounded children. John Adams: "The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families.... How is it possible that Children can have any just Sense of the sacred Obligations of Morality or Religion if, from their earliest Infancy, they learn their Mothers live in habitual Infidelity to their fathers, and their fathers in as constant Infidelity to their Mothers?" His wife Abigail: "What is it that affectionate parents require of their Children; for all their care, anxiety, and toil on their accounts? Only that they would be wise and virtuous, Benevolent and kind."
Atlantic Monthly magazine, a bastion of secular Statism, has an article, "Are Fathers Necessary?" Their contention is that the stats supporting the necessity of a father aren't valid because stats compare married heterosexual couples and their children, to single fathers and mothers. To be valid they say, the comparison should be how children do when raised by homosexual couples. Of course they say that female homosexual couples raise better children than male homosexual couples. Even if you're a homosexual male, you're still male, and found to be an inferior human being.
This is based on one article, in the Journal of Marriage and Family, written by Judith Stacey, a sociology professor at New York University, and Timothy Biblarz, a demographer from the University of Southern California. Since this is supposed to be a social "science", what's the control group and has the data been gathered and analyzed by others with the same results? The anti-traditionalist agenda is to destroy the nuclear family. Then it will truly "take a village" to raise kids. Children raised by the State will be more compliant to the State. Indoctrination through the alleged education system doesn't quite get the job done; some make it through as free thinkers. They do that because there are enough families to help the kid resist the indoctrination.
The stats themselves? From the CDC, DoJ, DHHS and the Bureau of the Census: 30 percent of children who live apart from their fathers will account for 63 percent of teen suicides, 70 percent of juveniles in state-operated institutions, 71 percent of high-school dropouts, 75 percent of children in chemical-abuse centers, 80 percent of rapists, 85 percent of youths in prison, 85 percent of children who exhibit behavioral disorders, and 90 percent of homeless and runaway children.
Unnamed social worker at a juvenile detention center: "If you find a gang member who comes from a complete nuclear family, I'd like to meet him. ... I don't think that kid exists."
Children raised by the State will of course manifest all the social pathologies and deviant behavior not found in most children raised by mom and dad. That will in turn justify more of a police state. Nice if you're a Statist.
Confucius: “To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.”
There's a natural order to things, and anti-traditionalist, secular Statists, must interrupt that order to control according to their belief system. Even to the extent that they need to publish, for Fathers' Day, an article bashing men in general, fathers specifically, and stating that women are superior.
The article ends: "The bad news for Dad is that despite common perception, there’s nothing objectively essential about his contribution. The good news is, we’ve gotten used to him." Can you say "sexism"?
Men and women are both equally necessary to form families, raise children and provide a sound foundation for a functioning society. Lets keep dad around and help families stay together by keeping the State out of the nuclear family.
