I have heard psychosis defined as real solutions to unreal problems and neurosis as unreal solutions to real problems. I was horrified by the Escamilla incident and don't think enough people have been punished severely enough for it. But this is just ridiculous!!

"Why would someone not want to sign that form?" said Michael Evans, a schools spokesman. "That's in place to protect everybody from the speakers to the teachers to the students."

What a stupid thing for a spokesman to say, and what an unreal solution to a very real problem. The problem in the Escamilla incident is that the teacher was directly complicit in the proselytizing, and perhaps some of the administration as well (I do not mean to accuse, I have no idea - but it is certainly possible.)

If a speaker is being compensated for the appearance, and perhaps even if not paid but they have approached the school to appear rather than being invited, by all means have them sign something like this, and withhold payment if they fail to meet the standards.

For speakers volunteering their time, whether they are community leaders or parents helping with career day presentations, the educators are responsible, and the only people who should sign the forms for volunteer speakers are those IN THE SCHOOL, doing the inviting. It is their responsibility to invite appropriate speakers, make sure they are made aware of the policies if necessary and stop the speaker and/or the discussion if the policies are not followed.
