INTERVIEW: SOCIETY IS ‘FORGETTING ELEMENTAL HUMAN TRUTHS’
Dear marriage supporter,
I was pleased to host a recent interview with Mary Eberstadt, prominent author and scholar known for her critical analysis of the sexual revolution and its impact on marriage and culture. To delve deeper into her insights, you can watch the full discussion online here.
Mary highlights the unique and irreplaceable benefits of one-man, one-woman marriage, underlining its role in fostering stable and thriving societies. She stresses: “What is making the people in our upper classes thrive very often is that they are living in stable situations anchored by marriage”. This stability, she argues, is foundational not just for individuals but for society at large.
She points to alarming trends such as the rise in loneliness, psychiatric issues among children, and the increasing unhappiness of women since the sexual revolution. These issues, Mary notes, are intricately linked to the erosion of family structures and the diminishing regard for marriage. “Many people don’t understand anymore why people lived in families to begin with”, she observes, adding that society is experiencing “a forgetting of elemental human truths” about family life.
Mary discusses the significant social and economic disparities linked to marriage backed up by research showing that 90% of the wealthiest mums are married, while only 20% of the poorest mums are married.
It is crucial, Mary goes on, to continue highlighting these truths and advocating for policies that support and promote the traditional family structure. By demonstrating the tangible benefits of stable marriages, we can inspire more people to embrace this vital institution.
Mary joins a growing number of leading thinkers and influencers, who are eager to provide a compelling argument for the importance of real marriage in maintaining a healthy and prosperous nation.
At C4M we’re convinced by the data showing man-woman marriage as key to a flourishing society. We look forward to Government and mainstream media following this example set by our leading thinkers.

![Mum takes on Government over Daughters Education - Clare Page interview with Tony Rucinski
Dear marriage supporter,
Clare Page is an ordinary mum who finds herself single-handedly taking on the State in defence of her daughters’ education. You can listen to Clare tell me about her epic battle here.
Clare noticed that her daughters’ schools were teaching controversial ideologies around sex, gender and race as if they were facts. But, she tells me, the questions she was asking “were unanswerable by the school because of what’s happened at [the] Government level”.
Clare first noticed a change in 2017 when pupils at her daughters’ primary school were being taught to address each other as “they” if pronouns weren’t given. The school was a test site for the Government’s recently implemented Relationships and Sexual Education curriculum. Then, over lockdown, her children were asked to produce “social justice” materials that Clare considered “breached safeguarding” standards.
Her daughter was taught in secondary school that “we live in a heteronormative world” which is a “really bad thing” and must be countered by becoming “sex-positive”. The school refused to send Clare the lesson plans and materials because the copyright belonged to an external organisation. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) sided with the school, confirming that she would have to attend in person to see what her child was being taught.
Clare tells me that children were referred to the external organisation’s website, which, she says, contained sexually explicit learning materials, and encouraged underage children to use explicit sexualised terminology on social media. “These are known areas” for children to come into contact with “abuse”, she says.
Clare is now challenging the ICO’s decision at Tribunal on behalf of all parents. She would like to see political intervention to make it impossible for schools to withhold materials from parents.
Ask your schools “for full transparency” Clare advises. Request lesson plans, materials, and the names of any external providers used. Then be prepared, she says, to make constructive, respectful complaints.
It’s important for child safety and for democracy, Clare concludes, that we all now get involved. You can follow Clare on Twitter @NoSecretLessons.
C4M believes all children should be taught that growing up with your married biological mum and dad leads to the best outcomes for children, adults and society in general. While other relationship types exist, it is very clear at the population level that nothing comes close to the benefits of real marriage.
