Normal disclaimer, any comments real or imagined are from me, not my teams mentor/coach/teacher.

I will try hard to not comment on how I see this new policy I only want to ask a question or perhaps make an observation.

Who, specifically from those viewing this thread, is going to choose to not be a mentor because of the policy ,please don't loose this in the SSN issue or the security clearance issue. Who is simply going to *refuse* to take part in any FIRST mandated screening policy?

If I am reading the thread correctly FIRST needs to start finding ALOT more mentors.

(For what its worth I am asking my adult mentors to comply and will respect their choice if they decline. The team will need to decide how to handle the issue and possible consequences if mentors refuse. Also, I am cleared by a public school system in Washington. But I would , myself, jump through the hoops FIRST is asking if I was not already cleared.)
