George Will: ‘Unparented’ boys from single-parent homes causing ‘epidemic of violence’

Will, however, pointed to boys in single-parent homes as a source of the problem.

“We ought to bring in Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago,” he insisted. “Chicago is an epidemic of violence with young, largely unparented — that is, no father in the home — adolescent males. That’s a problem quite separate from this.”

The conservative columnist also worried that the massacre of 20 children at an elementary school in Connecticut would be used to “ratchet up the security of schools and elsewhere in public spaces.”
