Here is the updated Hate speech policy from the board.  Ansteorra's policy
will be set after I can meet with the Crown but it is my anticipation to use
this.  Hate speech and actions will not be tolerated within Ansteorra.

 

At the Board of Directors July 2018 meeting, the following addition to
Corpora was approved and is to be considered effective immediately.

 

*"Corpora Article X, Grievances and Sanctions, A. General, Add Section 4:

  Hate Speech*

Hate speech is not tolerated in the Society.  Hate speech is speech or
symbols that offend, threaten, or insult individuals or groups, based on
race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability or
other traits.  Such symbols and speech have no essential part of any
discussion of ideas and are of so little value to the Society that any
benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the harm
caused. The use by any participant in the Society may result in possible
sanctions up to and including revocation of membership and denial of
participation.

Please report any possible instances of hate speech to your Kingdom
Seneschal, the Society Seneschal or the President of the SCA immediately.
For more information about hate speech and the reporting of same, please
refer to the Society Seneschal's Handbook.  "

Corpora will be updated shortly.

Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to:

SCA Inc.

Box 360789

Milpitas,  CA 95036
