Married households are an example of \u201cwhat can we do to put environmental factors in place that make healthier behavior easier,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-397242\" class=\"size-full wp-image-397242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/marriage-chart.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"421\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/marriage-chart.png 421w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/06\/marriage-chart-300x198.png 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-397242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Daily Wire analysis of ACS<\/p>\n<p>The Census Bureau has postponed the release of the full once-a-decade Census, citing coronavirus. But in March, it released data from a detailed survey, known as the American Community Survey, given to a smaller set of Americans each year. The results are grouped into five-year segments for a larger sample size. The Daily Wire compared the five-year period ending with the year 2020 to the five-year periods ending in 2015 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The below chart shows how much of racial inequality is attributable to the simple fact that households with one adult have half the earning potential of households with two adults: The percentage of households within a given demographic that are impoverished tracks almost exactly with the percent who are married.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-397253\" class=\"size-full wp-image-397253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/poverty-vs-marriage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/poverty-vs-marriage.png 368w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/poverty-vs-marriage-300x215-1.png 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-397253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daily Wire analysis of 2016-2020 ACS<\/p>\n<p>The data also shows that marriage can be a nearly surefire ticket out of poverty for people of any race.

But even when a child\u2019s parents are married but poor, that child is more likely to grow up to be wealthy. Poor Asians\u2019 marriage rate of 62% is higher than the rate for Hispanics regardless of income, and higher even than wealthy blacks.

Most charts break things down by \u201cblunt categories like race,\u201d but not family status, leading people to perceive that minorities are oppressed.<\/p>\n<p>Simply looking at the same data through the lens of family status would show a different picture: One where minorities who are married are doing quite well, and people of all races who are unmarried are not. This would give a more nuanced picture, but ideologues reject it because they want the \u201csingular issue\u201d to be \u201csystemic racism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Critical Race Theory proponent] Ibram Kendi says when he sees racial gaps in achievement, he sees racism, full stop. For those who want to perpetuate that narrative, they need to undermine [other] casualties,\u201d said Rowe.<\/p>\n<p>Federal education law requires that test score and graduation data be reported by race, but not family status. Since educators are presented with charts labeled by race, that is what they focus on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you see initiatives like DEI to drive the \u2018implicit bias\u2019 out of teachers,\u201d Rowe said. \u201cIf we were to do reporting based on family structure, you\u2019d see instantaneously that there\u2019s a far greater correlation to positive outcomes with two-parent households in virtually every category\u2026If we wanted to actually seek solutions, we\u2019d look at family status as a new prism of measurement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou typically just hear that X percent of black kids are reading at proficiency.
