I'm not blaming the fencing community, they're really stuck. I'm blaming the fascist government currently in power.

The division explained its decision as a temporary measure while seeking resolution: “We are currently seeking guidance on how to move forward without violating either [the USA Fencing policy or the Minnesota Human Rights act]. Due to this, only mixed events will be sanctioned at this time.”
