The family structure among poor blacks, read the Department of Labor report, "is highly unstable, and in many urban centers is approaching complete breakdown." The year was 1965, and 25 percent of black children were born out of wedlock.

Now, only two weeks into the Biden administration, a prominent appointee to the DOJ is making it known that she considers standing up for faith "shameful."
