It Takes a Man to Be a Dad | Guest: Dr. Warren Farrell (The Boy Crisis)

On this week's episode of "Read, White, & Blue," Speaker Sprowls is joined by Dr. Warren Farrell, author of "The Boy Crisis." When teachers in Dr. Farrell's circle began to share with him that boys in their classrooms were falling behind, Dr. Farrell set out to understand why; his research found that the common root cause was the lack of an involved father. In this conversation, Speaker Sprowls and Dr. Farrell dig into the research behind the importance of having two involved parents for many societal outcomes, and what community groups and the Florida Legislature are doing to reclaim responsible fatherhood for future generations.
