Subject: [Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] Board Statement on Hate Speech

The Society for Creative Anachronism strongly condemns hate speech in any
form by any officers and participants of this organization. The SCA was
founded on and continues to be governed by the concepts of chivalry and
honor, and strives to include and be respectful of all people, regardless of
race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and politics. All participants
are reminded of and expected to hold to these principles in participating in
this organization and interacting with other people in person and in all
forums, regardless of media.

The Board of Directors has heard the concerns of many people regarding the
use of hate symbols in the SCA. The Board is concerned about this matter and
has tasked the President of the SCA to immediately investigate. The
President has the full confidence of the Board, and the Board will act as
necessary to protect the participants of the SCA and to ensure that
chivalry, honor, and respect for all continue to govern the organization.
