Yep, FIRST should just ban Will.I.Am from all events going forward because he said a few bad words. That'll teach all of the kids not to use potty words

Also - please get off your high horse. It's insulting to think that people who are a little rough around the edges in FIRST don't want to help kids.

Every mentor has their own style and every team is different. I relate to my students on a personal level because I was one of them only 10 years ago. Sometimes that means saying things that aren't 100% politically correct. They know as crass as I can be sometimes that I'm doing it because I care about them and care about my team.
