Gavin, I would say ‘no’ to the reject part because it serves to promote those ideals. i.e. I don’t care what they say about me as long as they talk about me. On the other hand, it wouldn’t hurt to send out a positive statement highlighting the fact that the ASF welcomes all irrespective of race, nation, creed, ideology, gender, etc. The difference being don’t include the political figure or the negative statements. My 2 cents.
