Dealing with the question at hand:

People usually cannot and do not change. This mentor has a good possibility of, in a stressful situation, not maintaining his changed behavior.

The people who gave him a second chance were not playing fair and are IMHO chickens. If they didn't want this person on the team, then just come out and say it. To do otherwise is cowardly.

Way to inspire, too. When things get tough, duck & run.

I don't have a good way to resolve this. I might maintain the original team, and do whatever to keep it afloat. Perhaps I'd join the other team, if they'd have me. Perhaps I'd leave FIRST forever, but not without telling those other mentors in calm, unemotional terms what I thought of their "Graciously Professional" behavior.

Please don't consider leaving FIRST, be the more mature one and learn from this, you'll be a better person forever for it.
