Data from the U.S. Census Bureau revealed the number of children living in two-parent households increased to 71.1% in 2023.

While many outlets apparently push the narrative of decline amongst two-parent families, the data does not defend these claims.

“You need to pay attention to what goes on in that classroom, and you need to pay attention to what your local school board is up to. The Loudoun County people demonstrated that in spades. When I was Secretary of Education in the 1980s, touring the country and giving speeches, people asked, ‘Well, what can I do to improve my kids’ education? I want to get involved.’ I said, ‘Run for the school board.’ And people would laugh. They’d kind of dismiss it. Well, I think now a lot of Americans see how interesting that is,” Secretary of Education Bill Bennett told parents in 2023.
