‘Dads on Duty’ event sparks conversation about essential role of fathers, husbands, as ‘boys and men across America are faltering’
March 5, 2025
(The Lion) — Fathers should not be reduced to a mere “appendix” of the family, but rather should serve as a “backbone” or “beating heart” of the family, said Heritage Foundation research fellow Delano Squires during a “Dads on Duty” event on Tuesday.
The Heritage Foundation hosted the forum in Washington, D.C., and centered it around a “father’s role in shaping society.” A three-expert panel led a discussion about “the essential role of fathers, the higher purpose of children in American society, and marriage as America’s keystone institution.”
