The way I interpret the founders question is to mean "is this something that would reflect positively on the organization?" That's my take on it. It's always interesting to hear/read others' viewpoints and thoughts; that's something I enjoy about these conversations. "Keep an open mind" - this is a good reminder to me. So I'll think about what everyone else says/posts.

And from a risk standpoint, there are always going to be concerns. Seeking a balance is what's tricky. Also consider the peer pressure factor; I don't know that many 18 year olds who are confident enough to walk away from awkward or uncomfortable situations. They still want very much to fit in and aren't totally comfortable in their own skins. That's what I've observed.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer here, I guess.
