What is the benefit of finishing school, getting a job — any job — and marrying before having children?
This is part of the “success sequence” that lowers the risk of poverty.
The Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) created a billboard campaign in 2020 about the success sequence. Black Lives Matter did not like the message. After they complained to Clear Channel, the outdoor advertising company CURE used, Clear Channel took down the billboards.
“What do the billboards say?” Star Parker said in The Washington Times. “Only what mothers and fathers have long counseled their children: Finish school, get a job, get married, save and invest, and give back to your community. These are scientific truths, moral truths, and home truths.”
CURE will never stop advocating marriage and personal responsibility.
Timothy Goeglein, vice president of External and Government Relations for Focus on the Family and a former special assistant to President George W. Bush, spoke about this with CURE president Donald Eason on a recent episode of CURE America.
Watch the brief clip below.
