The importance of a strong family foundation and equal access to quality education is crucial to the success of young people. Dr. Carson and Ian Rowe discuss the urgent need to address disparities in education and opportunity in the United States, particularly in low-income areas and inner cities. Rowe argues that race-based affirmative action is not the root cause of these disparities, but rather the lack of preparation and support for students before they even enter school. He emphasizes the importance of education and family formation in empowering America's children and promoting upward mobility. Rowe highlights the significance of open adoption in empowering women facing unwanted pregnancies and forming strong families for vulnerable children.  Ian Rowe is the author of “Agency” which seeks to inspire young people of all races to build strong families and become masters of their own destiny.
