Why Freedom and Tradition Still Matter: A New Book from TFAS Senior Scholar Donald Devine
The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) is pleased to announce the release of a new book by Senior Scholar Dr. Donald J. Devine, "Thinking About Freedom and Tradition: Understanding the Philosophers Who Make the Case for Western Civilization." At a time when civic literacy and historical understanding are increasingly fragile, Devine's latest work offers a timely guide to the ideas that shaped liberty--and why they stillmatter today.
As a longtime scholar, teacher and public servant, Devine brings decades of experience to the question at the heart of the book: how freedom and tradition work together to sustain a free society, deepening the intellectual foundations of conversations in today's complicated world.
Inside Thinking About Freedom and Tradition
"Thinking About Freedom and Tradition" is Devine's 12th book, following "Ronald Reagan's Enduring Principles: How They Can Promote Political Success Today," published in 2023. This latest book offers a concise and compelling introduction to some of the most influential thinkers who shaped western civilization and continue to influence public policy, civic thought and the future of American liberty. Readers are guided through the minds of thinkers such as F.A. Hayek, Edmund Burke, Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, Abraham Lincoln, Joseph Schumpeter and many others, whose ideas laid the foundation for limited government, equal rights, the rule of law and free-market institutions.
In an age when classics are often dismissed, Devine's book invites readers to engage with the great thinkers who shaped the West and still have much to teach. He traces the philosophical roots of freedom, from Aristotle to Aquinas, Locke to Lincoln, Burke to Hayek, exploring how the ideas of Western Civilization formed the institutions that protect liberty.
A Scholar Dedicated to Teaching Civics
Devine's career spans academia, public service and civic education. He began as an associate professor at the University of Maryland, where he taught courses in American government and politics, public opinion, democratic theory, methodology and philosophy of science. He later left academia to serve as civil service director for President Ronald Reagan during his first term, working to reform the federal government also in several advisory appointments, including one in Donald Trump's first term, and advising Congressional policymakers including Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and other national leaders.
Throughout his career, Devine has remained focused on the relationship between ideas and institutions and how philosophical principles shape real-world governance. He taught Western civilization and was director of the Federalist Leadership Center at Bellevue University for a decade, served as a columnist for The Washington Times, was editor of the American Conservative Unions' Conservative Battleine and was a contributor to The American Spectator, Law & Liberty, Modern Age and other magazines, as well as an Adjunct Scholar at the Heritage Foundation.
Today, as a TFAS Senior Scholar, Devine continues this work by teaching students how freedom and tradition are harmonized within the American constitutional system, particularly surrounding the ideas of fusionism. His seminars challenge students to engage seriously with the philosophical roots of liberty and to see civic education as an active responsibility, not a passive inheritance.
Advancing the TFAS Mission Through Enduring Ideas
Devine's scholarship reflects the core of the TFAS mission: how free societies govern themselves and cultivate responsible citizens. He helps students - and readers alike - understand not just what freedom is, but why it matters. Since 2011, Devine has continued to teach young people these ideals at TFAS. His seminars take students on a journey through human history, reviving the Constitution and what Reagan called the secret of its success: the way it harmonized freedom and tradition in its fragile balance called federalism.
Through his work with TFAS, Devine advances the same depth of understanding that TFAS programs aim to instill in students: a serious engagement with the ideas that sustain a free society. His previous works discuss classic philosophical thought in a way that resonates with the next generation of leaders, emphasizing TFAS's commitment to equipping courageous leaders to protect and advance the ideas of individual liberty, personal responsibility and economic freedom in their communities.
Essential Reading for Understanding Freedom Today
During America's 250th, civic understanding is more important than ever. Devine's work offers a clear reminder: freedom endures only when its ideas are understood, taught and defended.

WE ACT for Environmental Justice Responds to Governor Hochul's Proposal to Change the State's Climate Act
In response to New York State Governor Kathy Hochul's proposals for rolling back its signature Climate Law. WE ACT for Environmental Justice's Energy Justice Senior Policy Manager Eric Walker said the following:
"New Yorkers are living through a real affordability crisis. Governor Hochul claims she's protecting New Yorkers from high energy bills but her proposal to gut the Climate Act is a misguidedaffordability play that will do the exact opposite. One in four households are 60 days or more behind on their energy bills, and nearly $2 billion in utility debt is weighing down families across this state. For our communities - the ones already behind on their bills, already living in the most heavily polluted neighborhoods -- this is not a nice perk. Holding up the Climate Act is a must.
"We agree with the Governor that protecting New Yorkers from high bills must be a priority. But let's be clear: the Governor is manufacturing an election-year "climate law crisis" to jam major changes to New York's climate law into the budget at the last minute and behind closed doors. All this does is distract from the real drivers of energy costs: volatile fossil fuel prices, gold-plated utility infrastructure, and years of inaction.
"Gas is the reason we have high rates of asthma, cancer, and blood-related conditions. The Governor's proposal keeps us hooked on the fuels that are keeping us under the pressure of skyrocketing bills.
"The legislature must reject backroom Climate Law rollbacks in the budget and continue to fight for the real solutions they've put forward that saves people money on their bills - utility bill assistance, investments in energy efficiency, getting more renewables on the grid and the full, timely implementation of the Law. That is how you protect New Yorkers. Rolling back our Climate Law doesn't protect anyone."

Second Federal Citation at Florida Primate Facility Raises Alarms About U.S. Monkey Import Pipeline
Incident involving a discarded monkey during quarantine highlights systemic failures, public health risks, and urgent need to modernize research
*
The Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action today condemned a second federal citation issued to a Florida-based primate import and quarantine facility, where a monkey was mistakenly discarded into a waste container, transportedoff-site, and later euthanized.
The incident occurred at a BC US LLC facility in Immokalee, Florida, that had already received a prior critical citation after two monkeys died from extreme heat exposure. The latest violation involved an imported nonhuman primate who should have been under strict quarantine and monitoring following international transport.
This episode is not an isolated error, but a stark illustration of systemic failures in the U.S. primate import pipeline.
"This is not just a tragic mistake--it is a warning sign about a system that is fundamentally broken," said Tamara Drake, director of research and regulatory policy at the Center for a Humane Economy. "We are importing primates from overseas, placing them into high-stress quarantine environments, and then seeing preventable failures that result in suffering, death, and biosecurity risks. This incident raises serious questions about whether this pipeline is defensible at all."
Federal regulations require imported primates to undergo quarantine due to the risk of zoonotic disease transmission. The mishandling of an animal during this critical containment period underscores broader concerns about oversight, compliance, and public health protections.
"The U.S. primate import system is under strain from every angle--animal welfare, disease risk, and supply chain integrity," said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action. "When a monkey can effectively disappear into the medical waste stream during federally mandated quarantine, it demonstrates a level of dysfunction that should prompt immediate federal review."
The organizations noted that the United States continues to rely on imported primates for biomedical research despite growing scientific consensus that animal models--particularly nonhuman primates--often fail to predict human outcomes.
"Advances in modern science are rapidly making animal testing obsolete, particularly for complex human diseases where primate models routinely mislead researchers," said Dr. Zaher Nahle, senior scientific advisor for Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy. "Human-based methods--such as organoids, organ-on-chip systems, and computational modeling--offer more predictive, ethical, and scalable alternatives. Incidents like this should accelerate the transition away from imported primates and toward 21st-century science."
The groups are calling for:
* A federal investigation into the Florida facility and similar primate import operations
* A review by the CDC and HHS of the current primate quarantine and import system
* A ban on primate imports in favor of human-relevant research methods
"This is a moment for accountability and course correction," Drake said. "We should not be sustaining a system that is risky, unreliable, and increasingly unnecessary."

WASHINGTON, March 21 -- The Food and Water Watch posted the following news release on March 20, 2026:

Trump's Latest AI Plan Means Only One Thing: More Climate-Killing Fossil Fuels
"The only prudent course of action is to halt the explosive growth of new data center construction now."
*
Today the White House released a "national legislative framework" for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the country. The plan purports to address six key objectives, including "safeguarding and strengthening American communities."
In response, Food & Water Watch's policy director,Jim Walsh, made the following statement:
"This latest AI proclamation from the White House is more of the same nonsense we've been hearing for months - primarily a call for more and more fossil fuel production to support a Big Tech industry that Americans are growing increasingly wary of by the day. Whether they are connected to the power grid or not, more data centers mean more climate-killing fracked gas power plants poisoning our air and water, and more stress placed on local communities' precious water resources.
"The only prudent course of action when it comes to AI is to halt the explosive growth of new data center construction now, so that states and communities have the time needed to properly consider their own futures. It has yet to be determined if - not how - this industry can ever operate in a manner that sufficiently protects people and society from the profusion of inherent harms and hazards that data centers bring wherever they appear."
Last October, Food & Water Watch became the first national organization in the country to call for a full nationwide moratorium on the approval and construction of new data centers. In a letter to Congress in December, more than 230 national, state and local organizations from across the country echoed this call, citing massive and unsustainable consumption by data centers of energy and water resources, and skyrocking utility costs for families and small businesses.
Recently about a dozen states have seen legislation introduced that would enact some type of pause on data construction entirely.

Speaker Johnson Delays FISA Vote After Public Outcry
Congress Must Stop Mass Data Collection for AI Surveillance Before Renewing Government Spying Powers
*
Washington, D.C. -- On Friday, Politico reported that the House will not vote next week on a renewal of the federal government's controversial and sweeping warrantless surveillance authority, also known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)--a reversal from House Speaker Mike Johnson's previous planto ram through a reauthorization without any privacy protections. Demand Progress helped lead a coalition of more than 130 groups asking Congress to prevent warrantless data collection on Americans for AI-powered surveillance before renewing FISA. Demand Progress also helped lead over 90 groups in urging Democratic congressional leaders to avoid following Stephen Miller's lead on FISA, and recently released a poll showing that only 12 percent of voters, including only 17 percent of Republicans, think Congress should renew FISA without reforms.
The following is a statement from Demand Progress Executive Director Sean Vitka:
"Speaker Johnson is backing away from his plan to ram through a FISA reauthorization vote next week because he knows his members don't want it and the American people don't want it. Republicans, Democrats and independents all overwhelmingly want Congress to take serious action to protect privacy--in particular against AI and data brokers--and oppose any efforts to rubberstamp the government's warrantless mass surveillance powers as-is. Before any vote on reauthorizing FISA, Congress must first enact real protections for Americans' privacy, in particular by closing the data broker loophole to prevent the government from circumventing the courts and independent oversight through the purchase of Americans' private location, web browsing and other sensitive information."

CODEPINK Delegation Leaves for Cuba With Over 6000 Pounds of Medical Supplies and Over 140 Suitcases Full of Humanitarian Aid
Participants will be available to the press upon their return on Monday at 4 pm ET (location TBD)
*
MIAMI - CODEPINK's Nuestra America Convoy delegation departed Miami today, Friday, March 20, for Cuba to deliver 6,300 pounds of urgently needed medicinesand medical supplies, including neonatal equipment, analgesics, catheters, and other critical hospital materials. The supplies, valued at $433,000, were collected by Global Health Partners. For decades, the U.S. blockade has created severe supply shortages in the Cuban health system, and the Trump administration's total blockade on all fuel to the island has only exacerbated the situation.
CODEPINK's delegation was organized in collaboration with Progressive International, Cuban Americans for Cuba, and other partners. The delegation brings together a politically diverse but deeply aligned group of people, community organizers, anti-war activists, Cuba solidarity organizers, healthcare workers, nurses, legal advocates, lawyers, law students, veterans, union members, labor organizers, journalists, independent media workers, photographers, filmmakers, writers, artists, educators, students, researchers, faith-based activists, immigrant justice organizers, reproductive justice advocates, socialist organizers, Palestine solidarity activists, Black liberation organizers, cultural workers, and grassroots community members, united by a shared commitment to stand with the Cuban people, challenge the brutality of the U.S. blockade, and turn solidarity into material action.
In addition to the 6,300 pounds of medical supplies, delegates have packed suitcases with supplies that address the needs of specific groups affected by the blockade in unique ways, such as LGBTQ+ people, artists, animals, and others. While in Cuba, after delivering the supplies, the delegation plans to:
* visit with Cuban doctors and witness the strain on the healthcare system;
* visit organizations that focus on feeding vulnerable people;
* paint a mural;
* help rebuild and paint a children's playground in Central Havana;
* hear from Cuban experts on US-Cuba relations, agroecology, HIV/AIDS prevention, and international migration;
* and hold an art build and pen pal letter exchange with children in Central Havana.
Members of the press are invited to join this WhatsApp channel, where participants will post media content that is welcome for use. Participants will include credit information when applicable and are happy to provide any additional details or context you may need.
The March 20 delegation is part of a broader international effort organized by Progressive International. Hundreds of activists from Latin America, the United States, Canada, and Europe will converge in Havana on March 21 to denounce the U.S. blockade and deliver life-saving aid. In total, the convoy will have delivered:
* More than $400,000 of humanitarian supplies on a charter flight, including medical equipment, medicines, staple foods, infant nutrition products, and hygiene supplies, coordinated by CODEPINK.
* Over $500,000 worth of solar panels and generators to support hospitals and essential infrastructure facing electricity shortages.
* Over 2000 lbs of medical supplies from Europe, carried by a medical delegation travelling from Milan, Italy.
* Cancer medicines valued at $23,000 organized by Global Exchange.
* Around 1100 lbs of medical supplies from Brazil, coordinated by the Brazilian Front of Solidarity with Cuba.
* Solar-powered equipment from Colombia, including solar chargers and lighting systems.
* Menstrual health kits for approximately 1,300 women, organized by a solidarity coalition in Mexico.
* $100,000 in aid for maternity centers.
Participants and organizers of CODEPINK's delegation acknowledge that the supplies provided by the mission are only a small fraction of what is needed, and that the work remains incomplete as long as the blockade remains. Even as it makes tremendous gains in renewable energy, Cuba still urgently needs fuel to operate its hospitals, keep its schools open, and feed its people. The public must continue to pressure the U.S. government to end the deadly blockade that has sought to suffocate the Cuban people for over 60 years.
Upon return from Cuba on Monday, the delegation will be available to answer questions from the press and give their first-hand accounts of what they witnessed. Location is still being determined. If you want updates on location or would like to arrange interviews at a later date, please contact Melissa at melissa@codepink.org.

CAIR-Michigan Welcomes Court Ruling Allowing Lawsuit Against University of Michigan to Move Forward
The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI), a local chapter of the nation's largest Muslim Civil Rights and advocacy organization, today welcomed a decisive court ruling allowing a civil rights lawsuit against the University of Michigan to move forward, marking a major step toward accountability for what advocates describe as unconstitutional suppression ofpro-Palestinian student speech.
READ COURT RULING (https://www.cair.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/097114782907.pdf).
The lawsuit was filed by CAIR-Michigan, in coalition with Sugar Law Center and a team of civil rights attorneys, on behalf of individual students and Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE).
SEE: Pro-Palestinian students, alumni sue University of Michigan over alleged targeting of protesters (https://www.metrotimes.com/news/pro-palestinian-students-alumni-sue-university-of-michigan-over-alleged-targeting-of-protesters-38127757/)
The case challenges the University of Michigan's disciplinary actions against students engaged in purely nonviolent, pro-Palestinian expression, as well as the University's suspension of SAFE--the only student organization on campus dedicated to advocating for the liberation of the Palestinian people.
The court's decision to allow the case to proceed confirms that the plaintiffs have raised serious and credible constitutional violations, including viewpoint discrimination and infringement of First Amendment rights.
"This ruling makes clear that the University cannot evade judicial scrutiny for punishing students based on their viewpoints," said Amy V. Doukoure, Esq., lead staff attorney with CAIR-Michigan. "Disciplining students for nonviolent advocacy and dismantling a student organization for its message strikes at the core of the First Amendment."
According to the complaint, the University imposed sanctions not for misconduct, but for protected expressive activity, targeting students because of their advocacy for Palestinian human rights.
CAIR-Michigan emphasized that public universities have a constitutional obligation to protect--not suppress--political speech, especially when that speech challenges dominant narratives.
"What we are seeing is not neutral enforcement of policy--it is selective punishment aimed at silencing pro-Palestinian voices," said Dawud Walid, executive director of CAIR-Michigan. "The Constitution does not permit public institutions to decide which viewpoints are acceptable."
The suspension of SAFE has had a chilling effect across campus, eliminating a central platform for student organizing, dialogue, and advocacy.
This lawsuit seeks to hold the University accountable and to restore the fundamental rights of students to speak, organize, and advocate without fear of retaliation.
CAIR-Michigan will continue to stand with the students and coalition partners in pursuing justice and ensuring that constitutional protections are upheld on campus.
CAIR's mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
