Since when can FIRST tell us how to run our individual teams? If I want to meet alone with a parent or adult, who really cares? You could interpret this as a violation of the first amendment right of assembly (a group *is* two or more people)
I have, on multiple occasions, ridden alone with parents/advisors. These are people that I have known for four years and would trust with my life. Now get this. I cant ride with an adult alone, but I can sleep in the same room as an adult, with parental permission. I think there's probably a slightly higher chance Im going to get molested SLEEPING with an adult rather than driving with them.
Lets look at it this way: can the national government tell a California school how it must be run? No way! FIRST should not be able to tell a team how things need to be done, unless they are attending a competition.
What is appropriate clothing? I can wear darn near anything I want out, and by law, it is appropriate, as long as I am not naked.
The proposal makes references to "All US states, territories, and the District of Columbia" but none to Canada, Brazil, or England. What happens there? Do they not have to report child abuse?
How will FIRST know if all adult advisors submit background checks? They wont!
All I want to know is how many people sued FIRST that they decided to make this incredibly stupid policy. All its going to do is be a royal pain in the $@#$@#$@# for all teams.
yeah I know some of y'all are going to take offense to some of these points, but oh well, its my opinion, Im not changing it just because some of you dont like it
