Jeff Leving and Glenn's New Column "PBS’ Breaking the Silence: Family Law in the Funhouse Mirror"
“While one can always find an unusual case or ruling, as Tatge and Lasseur have, fit mothers rarely lose custody of their children. The view of family law propounded in Breaking the Silence is not accurate, but is instead reflective of the grave distortions put forth by misguided women’s advocates. It is family law in the funhouse mirror.“

PBS Declares War on Dads
By Jeff Leving and Glenn Sacks
“As a society we pretend that broken families are all men’s fault, pay lip service to the importance of fathers, and close our eyes while millions of children are separated from the fathers they love and need them. Because that’s what mom wants. Because it’s easier to blame everything on dad than it is to confront mom on her destructive behavior. Because trying to hold a divorcing mother accountable for her behavior is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall… Throwing objectivity, fairness and reason to the wind, PBS and Breaking the Silence don't merely ignore or minimize this problem, but instead turn it on its head.“

Schwarzenegger Should Sign Bill to Reduce Prisoner Recidivism
By Jeff Leving and Glenn Sacks
"Everybody loses under the current system. The state tries in vain to beat huge arrearages—sometimes $20,000 or more—out of dead broke, unskilled, and uneducated ex-offenders. Because interest and penalties accrue rapidly, many former prisoners struggle under a staggering debt they could never hope to pay off. Some return to jail because of nonpayment of child support. Others are re-incarcerated after turning to illegal activity to support themselves, because at their low wage legal jobs 40 or 50% of their paychecks are garnished to pay their arrearages and current support."

Raising Boys Without Men: Lesbian Parents Good, Dads Bad
By Glenn Sacks
"It’s one thing to be respectful of gays and gay parents. It’s quite another to engineer a deceptive study and use it to assert that lesbian families are a better environment in which to raise boys than heterosexual families. That’s what former Stanford University gender scholar Peggy F. Drexler, Ph.D. does in her new book Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms Are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men. Not surprisingly, a friendly mainstream media is helping her promote her claims.”

Are Boys Really Better off Without Fathers?
By Glenn Sacks
"Drexler's research suffers from confirmatory bias. Drexler is a passionate advocate for single and lesbian mothers. She personally conducted interviews of several dozen single and lesbian mothers and their sons in order to examine their family lives and—no surprise—found them to her liking. But while Raising Boys praises father-absent households for instilling in boys many intangible, difficult-to-measure qualities, an examination of objective measures of child well-being belies Drexler’s rose-colored image of fatherless families..” --San Francisco Chronicle (8/31/05)
