I would vote for repeal. I don't believe we will save any children by
fingerprinting teachers who have been doing the job for 5 , 10 , or 30
years. It doesn't make sense to waste the taxpayer's money that could be
better spent on other things that could make a difference.
I bet 90 - 95% of the pedophiles have never been charged with a crime. It
would not show in a case where the charges had been dropped due to victims
wish not to press charges or plea agreement to a lesser offense.
Sometimes it seems we think we can make it a perfect world by just making
more laws.
