I have two questions:
1. Should someone who was president of the Sexual Freedom League
(SFL), have any executive role in chess? This organization is
supposed to support society getting rid of traditional social norms.
I have been informed that chess doesn't want to have anything to do
with poker, because of the children it is trying tor each, and there
are vices. So, if that is the case, then would someone involved in
such an organization as the SFL be someone you would want on the
executive board of a chess federation.
2. According to a wikipedia entry on Sam Sloan, Sam was president of
the Sexual Freedom League:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Sloan
Per the entry:
Sloan attended the University of California, Berkeley majoring in
mathematics. At the time U.C. Berkeley was a center for student
protest during the social unrest of the 1960s. Sloan became the
president of the Sexual Freedom League. His book Sex Marchers, co-
authored with SFL founder Jefferson Poland, called for sexual
emancipation.
Now I know Wikipedia isn't exactly the most accurate tool for
research, which is why I ask if what Wikipedia says about Mr. Sloan is
true. Now, I understand people have have checkered pasts and move on
from them also. But if the former is true, then one has to wonder if
Mr. Sloan has moved passed this stage in his life.
