A Comment about Recent Events

If any of the Society's membership is in El Paso or Dayton, we hope you're safe and that those you love are, too.

The Society again affirms its condemnation of all such attacks and the execrable ideologies of hatred that inform them. The Society again affirms its opposition to the frequent misuses of history, particularly the histories of the medieval world, broadly conceived, that too-often undergird those ideologies, and it reaffirms its commitment to pulling out what gets done wrongly in medievalist properties in an ongoing effort to root out the thin and faulty justifications used to provide pseudo-intellectual cover to evil.

There should be no place for it in this world or any other.

What the Society can do, it will do, in the hopes of denying hate a place.
