It seems what you consider odd enough to require a citation depends on your political orientation. Citations for the original claim:

For the record, these citations reference outcomes related to single parent families or two parent families. Also, the Brookings link is an opinion piece.

You understand that two-parent families are not exclusively married families, or that it's disingenuous to posit that if a family isn't single parent, it must be a married family, right?

Even the Brookings link cites a few studies, while the rest of this thread's posts offer nothing but hand-wringing and loaded questions.

And you're right, the links aren't exclusively about marriage. So if "married" was erased from the original claim, you'd agree with it?
