Per U.S. Census data, 27% of children living in single-parent households live in poverty. Perhaps, we should simply relocate these children to two-parent, upper-middle-class households to instill better values? 30% of children living with a single-mom and 19% of children living with a single-father were in poverty. Census figures put 70% of African-American children living with a single-parent; 42% of Hispanic children; 25% of Caucasian children; and 16% of Asian and Pacific-Island children. So we should simply place more children in Asian and Pacific-Island families so these children can "learn better from their surroundings".
