Liberal elites\u2019 secret weapon is conservative family values.<\/a><\/p>\n

“If the elite had conspired to destroy the middle class, it seems they would have:<\/em>
\n1, desired to corrupt middle class morals<\/em>
\n2, convince middle class women to have fewer children or have a career instead of a family<\/em>
\n3, convince middle class women they don’t need men but can do it all<\/em>
\n4, take the middle class’s money by both promoting the need for a college education while driving the price of said education through the roof by subsidizing the education of the poor<\/em>
\n5, send housing costs soaring by restricting supply<\/em>
\n6, create a situation where good paying middle class jobs get outsourced while cheap labor is imported to keep wages down<\/em>
\n7, promote a diet that tends to make anyone who follows it fat and sickly compared to those who eat roughly what people ate a century ago.<\/em>
\nPeople in 1950 might have called the above a dystopian horror fiction.<\/em>
\nThe elites in 2020 call it good public policy.”<\/em>..Cyrus in New York<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new study by Brad Wilcox and Wendy Wang at the Institute for Family Studies lays out the real picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to their own families,\u201d the authors discovered, \u201cCalifornia elites with kids overwhelmingly \u2018live right\u2019 in private, giving their children the benefit of growing up in a two-parent family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilcox and Wang reveal granular data showing \u201cthat some of the most elite neighborhoods in the state \u2014 including several in Hollywood and San Francisco \u2014 have virtually no single parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a far bigger story than Hollywood\u2019s message vs. Hollywood\u2019s lifestyle, of course. Across the country, Americans in the upper class are much more likely to profess liberalized teachings on family and marriage while personally practicing conservative family values. Wilcox and Wang just happened to get the data for California.<\/p>\n

Among Californians aged 18-50, the college-educated were far more likely than those with no college degree (85% to 69%) to agree that we should celebrate the diversity of family structures, including single parenthood, unmarried parents, and other alternative family structures. The college-educated were specifically far more cheerful toward single motherhood.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how they feel about others. How do the elites feel about their own lives? \u201cIt\u2019s very important for me, personally to be married before having children,\u201d 68% of the college-educated sample agreed. That number was only 59% for those who never went to college.<\/p>\n

So the elites are more \u201ctolerant\u201d than the working class ideologically, but they are much more conservative about how they plan to live.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
