A liberal columnist at The New York Times admitted Thursday that some on the left have ignored how the breakdown of the family has greatly contributed to the wealth inequality and child poverty they fight to fix.
Times opinion columnist Nicholas Kristof stated in his piece that the issue is liberals’ "blind spot" and that ignoring the "existence of two-parent privilege" for children furthers "the apparatus of inequality in the United States."
