[Ansteorra] mobility issues and the law

[Chass Brown]

Ok to dispell this rumor. The only private organizations that are able to be 
Excluded from the A.D.A. Are those who are allowed to exclude people by race 
and or gender and were in place in the mid 60's or earlier. Since the SCA 
has open enrollement it is NOT A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION. Therefore it does 
have obey the A.D.A.. This has done been brought before the BOD and they 
agree the S.C.A. is not immune to the A.D.A. laws. They and their multitude 
of attnys would know far better than anyone in Round Table. The law does 
apply. I am in constant contact with 3 A.D.A. experts one of which helped in 
the writeing of the A.D.A. law that is in place currently.
