In the basketball league my kid plays in the league runs criminal background checks on all the coaches.? The government does criminal background checks on lawyers, stock brokers, real estate salesmen, insurance agents, law enforcement, fire fighters, IRS agents, just about any licensed or government type job you can think of.
So if you are going to turn your government employees loose in a mandated "gun free zone" (i.e., easy, unarmed target zone) doesn't it make sense to do more than just verify their degrees?
So there's that physics prof who murdered his wife, there's this bio prof who murdered at least three colleagues, there's even a janitor who slaughtered seven in a college library, the list goes on and on.
Where are all those concerned public interest and consumer protection advocates now? Why aren't they clamoring for government scrutiny and control of higher education hiring??
Are unaccredited degrees more of a public health threat than hiring dangerous mental cases as government university teachers? Have any SRU grads, profs or janitors committed mass murder lately?
If even one physics prof has already gone on a murderous rampage shouldn't all physics profs be required to undergo criminal background checks and psychological screening? It seems only right. Real public safety issues are involved here, not trumped up claims by witless shills protecting the billionaire higher ed cartel.
