The disparate impact theory has to go. Rational policies that have a non-discriminatory purpose should not be illegal.

Thank God for US Court Judge, Roger Titus.

How racist of the Feds, “tarring” all minorities as criminals !

[Red Badger]

At least one state has gone to court to fight the Obama administration’s preposterous new regulation limiting employers’ rights to ban hiring felons because it discriminates against minorities.

That tacitly admits that they are the ones committing most of the felonies.....

So I want to open store. I am liable for any violence my employee may inflict on a customer or other employee, I will take a loss if my employee steals cash or inventory, yet the gov’t is telling me I can’t refuse to hire convicted felons because too many of them are minorities?

Why would anyone want to start a business in this country anymore?

Try applying for liability insurance. You get the high-risk, or no insurance at all, if you hire felons.

The ban on felons can go too far though. Here in TN, a felon cannot have any job that requires any state licensing. So you have a minor felony drug charge, or some other low level crime, that means you can’t wait tables in a restaurant (have to be licensed to serve alcohol) or even be a hairdresser (also needs a license).
