[Ansteorra] Royal Hunter

[Adam Thompson]

If we’re more concerned about being politically correct than what is
historically accurate it is time to give up the status as an educational
society. Be modern if you want to be, but admit that’s what it is. Stop
claiming tax benefits for historical education if history no longer
matters.
