ID SCR111

Designates the period from Mother's Day through Father's Day as "Traditional Family Values Month" in Idaho, with each week celebrating different family members (mothers, sons/brothers/uncles, grandparents, daughters/sisters/aunts, and fathers/marriage)

Defines traditional family as consisting of a "natural female mother and male father," children, grandparents, and extended family, and recognizes marriage specifically as between a man and a woman

Cites statistical decline in traditional family structures: children living with two married parents dropped from 77.5% in 1960 to 17.8% today; divorce rates increased from 27% in 1950 to 45% currently; births to unmarried women rose from 5% to 40%

Encourages communities, schools, churches, businesses, and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to participate in celebrating the designated month

References claimed statistics linking fatherless homes to negative outcomes including 63% of youth suicides, 85% of youth in prisons, and 71% of high school dropouts
