EEOC...not too smart it seems
By: Julia Sieben 

A new law that has been put on the books fairly silently since April of 2012, now has targeted employers use of criminal background checks for applicants. EEOC has declared extensive checks into the criminal history of a potential employee is a form of discrimination due to the high frequency of felony crimes are committed by minorities, primarily African-American, and Hispanic. EEOC is now putting forth lawsuits against employers who turn away applicants for their violent pasts, calling foul, that is unfair to the applicant and is a form of discrimination.

Now understand this illogical mentality of the government these days. They, meaning the government (administration) wants mandatory background checks on all citizens who wish to practice their 2nd Amendment Right, and even go so far as to exclude any law abiding citizen on a third parties impression, whether they are trained specifically for such evaluation, of a person who MAY Cause harm to oneself or to another because of depression, returning from the war, ever been under any medication for depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, or even such a small infraction as not capable of balancing a checkbook (Boy I know tons of people who cannot balance a check book, lets say 536 members of Congress).

Now the privilege that the government uses to restrict our rights, is being stripped away from employers, who actually want to reduce the risk to their business and customers from acts of coercion, larceny, conversion, robbery, drunk driving, battery, sexual assault, even murder.

Employers by Tort, have had to assume responsibility of an employees act while under the scope of work for negligence claims, violence towards others, misconduct while in the process of driving for the employer, theft of third party funds etc. Now the government has stepped in and is threatening suit against law abiding citizens who employ law abiding citizens, of acts of discrimination for checking into the background and patterns of possible hires.

Is this a little backwards to you? It is to me, seems gross negligence could and has been called many times against an employer who has hired knowingly hired a high risk employee, who then commits a crime or wrongful act against another while on duty of the employer.

If the government had their way, repeat drunk drivers would be driving taxi cabs and delivery trucks, repeat larceny and robbers would be handling your life's savings in local banks, repeat sexual offenders would be working in your schools and day care centers tending your children, repeat killers would be police and firemen with legal access into your homes.

These people sound like the ones who are now in office and touted as Public figures in Chicago, example Bill Ayers, and his lovely wife Bernadine Dohrn, both guilty of a part of the Weather Underground, a group that was responsible for the bombing of the United States Capitol, the Pentagon, and several police stations in New York. As a member of the Weather Underground, Dohrn read a "Declaration of a State of War" against the United States government, and was placed on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list, where she remained for three years.

Now Dohrn is an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law and the immediate past Director of Northwestern's Children and Family Justice Center, and Ayers is an American elementary education theorist, retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar and was recently awarded in Chicago, Man of the Year.

Only in today's society is a criminal praised for his illegal lifestyle and protected more by the government that the Law Abiding Citizen who pays the tax dollars. Such is the world that the Progressive/Democratic corrupt machine has created with the cooperation of the apathetic voter.

The new laws, only make new criminals, and do nothing to resolve the problems only fuel the problem of a society that makes a hero out of the criminal and demonizes the righteous!
