Maryland bans sex offenders from public schools after Project Baltimore investigation

Students throughout Maryland are now safer in school. Following a Project Baltimore investigation, Governor Larry Hogan has signed a new law making Maryland the first state in the country to ban registered sex offenders from being students inside public schools.

The new law bans convicted sex offenders from attending Maryland public schools, while setting up alternative means to educate them outside the classroom. Previously, sex offenders could receive special permission by school administrators to enroll. Now, this new law includes a penalty of up to five years in jail and a $5,000 fine if someone knowingly allows a sex offender on school property.

    You know this sex registry appears to touch of every aspect of life. Nothing wrong with getting a hight school education. Sure this registry has its pressure points and if one lets it it can bring one down. Sure some are lucky they get a high school education and being on the sex registry is just an obsticle of a man made device.

    Why do you think we have advacacy? Do you all know they had advocacy in the bible. Wasn’t Moses a type of advocate, how about Daniel, or Estar. Come on people get a grip on things and start using your resources. Sure if one wants to go with data or the past I’m sure we would all have some skeleton in the closet.

    Nothing wrong with a 21 yr.old graduating if that is the case in point. I’m sure the Principal or guidance counselors have some dark ordeals even those that set one up in vain ways with much of this misjustice. Many times good things come out of bad if one presses on with a positive attitude.

    This whole school system article that FAC has brought up has meaning. Yes I was 20 yrs of age when I graduated. The main focus was graduation. Yes I had a drug offense or Mary Jane offense, maybe a DUI but that is water under the bridge. Should one let old embers alone?

    Actions can have positive effects or negative but when one is enticed my that action than that is a different circunstance. Even going down to meet a teenager as in many of these ordeals of that mature. Well I can’t drive down to meet you as I am drunk and I might get a ticket while going down to this ruse of registry.

    If many notice they want you to drive down to the meeting area. Why? They don’t want sex offenders in class to graduate why? Sure they (Law enforcement) use the computer for many of these ordeals ..Why?

    Its not always computers and data or should we all go with a pharse such as “A man’s got to know his liminitations.. magnum force…. or a blues brothers Aretha Franklin song … Think. So are police justifying in unspeakable ways or are we all guilty. One should see much of this registry is confusing.

    by the laws definitions…any student that is having sex….is committing a sex crime. Look it up. if you are a senior and you have an underclassman partner, you are guilty. so basically lock up all of today’s youth

    This school system issue is a bit much in many ways. with restrictions. Call it Judgemental Justice, mental coversion type ethics, or someone pressing out punishment in a cold world ethics stay via a computer or other methods.

    So who’s wearing the mask today or who is jumping on who in this registry or age is just a number. Not everyone is right but commenting in a constructive way is good in many issues.

    One could look at all this registry with the many different comments on many advocacy sites in this digital age of unrest. One could even go so far as saying the registry is Sexual monkey business with a vain measure or where is truth in America.
