HANNA: The Burke Society chose the wrong speaker

The Edmund Burke Literary and Debating Society hosted former Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback Oct. 27 to discuss the future of conservatism as part of his “America’s Next Chapter” tour. Before his visit, Fishback has publicly used racial insults and promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. For an organization committed to civil debate, that record should have been disqualifying. Hearing perspectives we disagree with has value, especially at the university level. However, being controversial does not automatically mean someone has something worthwhile to contribute. Given Fishback’s record of hate and vitriol, the Burke Society should have interrogated what he offered beyond controversy and whether hosting him would advance the civil debate it claims to promote.

ACPS Tightens Enforcement of Tardy Expectation

For the 2026-2027 school year, Albemarle County Public Schools directed all schools to strictly enforce its longstanding tardy expectation. Under the expectation, students who receive three unexcused tardies are assigned a lunch detention. After six unexcused tardies, students receive another lunch detention and must meet with administration. After nine tardies, students receive a lunch detention and must attend a meeting with a parent, a member of administration, and the coaches of their sports team. The stricter enforcement has raised concerns among some students, who feel the expectation is unfair because circumstances such as traffic or a late bus may be out of their control. Although teachers and administrators are working to enforce the expectation, some of these issues may be beyond their control. Office associate Michelle Layman said she thinks the expectation is a good thing.
