According to the Christian Science Monitor, President Obama might catch a rare glimpse of bipartisan support as his administration begins its National Conversation on Fatherhood and Parental Responsibility.
It’s a federal government initiative designed to strengthen American schools and help their most disadvantaged students by focusing on the role of fathers. A series of community forums, scheduled to last at least through the fall, deals with issues like the need for parents to take personal responsibility for the success of their children.
