Bloomington To Host Farmers' Market Forum In Response To Controversy

The discussion will focus on the legal implications of issues that arise at the market. (Adam Pinsker, WFIU/WTIU News)

The City of Bloomington will host a forum Thursday night on the legal implications of issues that arise at the Farmers' Market amid ongoing controversy over a vendor's alleged white supremacist ties. 

Sarah Dye owns Schooner Creek Farm and has been accused of being involved with Identify Evropa. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies Identify Evropa as a hate group, saying it "focuses on raising white racial consciousness, building community based on shared racial identity and intellectualizing white supremacist ideology."

Members of the community linked Dye to the group after Nolan Brewer apparently referenced her during an interview with the FBI. Brewer was sentenced to three years in prison for spray-painting anti-Semitic graffiti and lighting fires outside a Carmel synagogue. According to an FBI interview transcript, he told investigators he met with a like-minded couple named Sarah and Douglas before the incident. But he said the couple wasn't aware of his plans. 

Several Bloomington residents have asked the city to remove Schooner Creek from the market because they don't feel safe with the vendor present. Mayor John Hamilton has said the government can't restrict people's rights and beliefs.

The panel discussion will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall council chambers. Panelists will include community organizer Abby Ang, Indiana University Maurer School of Law Professor Jeannine Bell, IU Maurer School of Law Professor Emeritus Dan Conkle and ACLU of Indiana Executive Director Jane Heneger. 

Schooner Creek hasn't been present for the past three weekends of the market.
