Should we get rid of the “felon” check box on job applications?

Question

Yanno since a convicted felon is allowed to run for president 😜 so does that mean all felons should have equal job opportunities as everyone else?

I mean my belief is, America should hold the office of POTUS with more integrity.

Convicted Felons aren’t welcome, those willing to do FDR’s Internment Camps outside of State of Emergency/Wartime, crash our economy with tariffs of imports (you end up paying more for less historically) / getting rid of cheap low skilled work force which will also come at the expense of the average American’s wallet, also those willing to take & tamper 300+ Classified Documents. Insanity (leaving out January 6th)

Trump shouldn’t run for President, he should be on the line to prison.

If i run a bussines, i want to know who im dealing with.

As for trump running as a felon.

No one cares because its blatantly obvious the conviction was an attempt to smear him.

If he didn't run, they wouldn't have dragged him through all the courts.

Ideally? Yes.

Sadly in America, the only person above the law is a current or former President.

On the plus side, give it 10 years and you will have no rule of law worth obeying to worry about as you face Nazi Germany II: American Boogaloo.

Remember, Americans. You fought the Nazis once and won, you can fight them and win again even if they're your own countrymen.

Nope and even if they did, your record will still be there and your felony will still prevent you from certain jobs, locations or fields

That's a tough one. On one had, I get that it's a public safety issue. On the other hand, these people need to work like everybody else. Maybe even more so.

Maybe it depends on the job and what the felony was

The guy who paid hush money to a prostitute, or the guy who's been waging a legislative war on the Constitution for half a century.

Why is it so hard for some people to believe the former is a better option?

Isn't it ironic a felon can be president but many felons aren't allowed to vote for president?

NathanDavis · Answer

we're all free to elect a felon... that's different from being required to hire a felon without our knowledge, lol

Lenabfine · Answer

Lol no people need to know if they are hiring a felon. However, not all felons are violent murderers like most people think. It is sad that people are so judgmental without knowing details.

exitseven · Answer

No. An employer needs to know who he is hiring.

ChinaGrove · Answer

You can be a convicted felon and still get White house security clearance, and be an advisor to the president.
