Yes this is a sensitive subject, but it should be available for discussion here on CD. I just hope an intelligent discussion can happen, like what typically is found here, not uninformed, emotional arguments that we all want to avoid.
In my opinion, Indiana is in a very interesting position and I think a lot of items may change in the coming weeks since the NCAA Final Four is in Indianapolis. It’s undoubtedly a major event that and I think it will test the response to this law fairly quickly. Additionally the
NCAA is headquartered in Indianapolis and has concern regarding the law.
Honestly, geopolitical events affect a lot of FIRST and FRC's operational areas. There are events in Israel and Australia, teams from China, Turkey and Brazil. All countries that represent a very diverse set of political beliefs. It’s a fact of life and really asks a question of
will the community let politics and religion stop the advancement of STEM Education, a cause which we are all advocates for.
I hope the community is willing to check political and religious beliefs/arguments at the door of events and discussions in order to come here and move forward the one common cause that we all believe in.
