On January 20th, 2022, our Vice President, Richard, led a session teaching our members about the main philosophical tendencies within the contemporary conservative movement.  This engaging lecture featured a discussion on the ongoing debate between the National Review “fusionism” type Republicans and the Trumpian “America First” (also known as “national good”) Republicans.

SFYR followed up with the event attendees, sending them additional educational materials for further studies.  This included the very influential https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2019/05/against-david-french-ism piece along with information on the application process for the National Review Institute’s summer fellowship program: https://nrinstitute.org/programs/burke-to-buckley-program/#summer
