We have a National Sex Offender registry for a reason because these people recognize the danger that extends past their time of incarceration. Parents need to know about that and thats why we have this national registry, and schools need to avoid the danger. To be clear mr. President im not suggesting that a convicted child molester can never work again anywhere, but i am saying they shouldnt work in a school, and i think thats completely reasonable. Im shocked frankly that these organizations would come out against this, against this commonsense legislation. But the objection in fairness, some objection that comes from our side of the aisle as well.
