And that does seem pretty remiss on the part of the restaurant owner.

Yet the Boy Scouts themselves have had over 2000 lawsuits brought against them because of molestation incidents.

The crooks generally seemed untrustworthy right off the bat. Still…..that's a tough choice. <br /><br />Either way, I think future employers and coworkers have the right to know about them.

It also hits his supporters harder then the general public. I don't mind banning the box if it has no predictive value but I would doubt anyone who claimed that. I worked with a guy who will be in prison for the rest of this decade for a sordid sex crime involving a child. Frankly, I would rather work with him(it was an adult environment) then an embezzler. I read about an embezzler who was making about twice what I was making at the time from their salary and still stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from some little company. Unrelated, but it just ticks me off. markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083316354675176699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-63952187395110913622016-04-18T14:57:51.749-04:002016-04-18T14:57:51.749-04:00Susan --

I'm actually in favor of real child molesters being ID-ed, don't get me wrong. It's just the Obama administration's double standard i wanted to point out. It's also a little ironic that the Obama administration doesn't feel that being HIV positive is a good reason to bar anyone from this country. A lot of those immigrants will spread their disease, but no matter, political correctness trumps that.
