Marry For America (MFA)

Found this on the Facebook Dump Duncan page:

Taking Teach for America's (TFA) approach to education to its logical conclusion, I would like to propose the creation of an organization called Marry For America (MFA). MFA would recruit men- and women- from Ivy League universities to go into poor communities, where many of the men are dead or in prison and agree to marry local women and help raise their children for a period of two years, after which they would get a quickie divorce and return to start families of their own in the suburbs or gentirfying urban neighborhoods. Here is yet another way future members of the 1 Percent can help heal the wounds of racism and poverty in the United States!
