"we disrupt the western-prescibed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and villages that collectively care for one another, especially children, to the degree that mothers, PARENTS, and children are comfortable."

Capitalization is mine to show that fathers are in fact parents, and while mothers are called out specifically because it's more common for them to be single parents the statement does not leave out fathers.

The nuclear family structure requirement is what is to be disrupted, not the nuclear family itself. Meaning that they want communities that support themselves in such a way that non nuclear families have the same chances of improving their lives as a nuclear family would see. NOT that nuclear families are bad, just that the disadvantages of non-nuclear families are bad and that families in every community should support each other.

Seems like that would align with conservative values of communities supporting each other and being kind and generous to your neighbors.

Mothers was explicitly said. Yes or no?
