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.

Since they are banning these kids from all school property that probably means they will be forced to online learning and statistics show kids do better with face to face sounds like only some kids education matter to them
Did I miss the sentence in the article where it said how many people on the registry were attending K-12 in public schools? It can’t possibly be that hard for them to have figured it out.
And of course the big lie, “Students throughout Maryland are now safer in school”. Sure they are.
Decades ago it was Plessy v. Ferguson that segregated schools. This was ok because of “separate but equal”. This ruling was overturned and SCOTUS said separate was NOT equal. How is this any different?
“alternative means” = exiled
Is anyone set to challenge this law? There is no way this can be constitutional on a federal level since the federal government gives money to states for education. Even with the pandemic every educator is saying the kids can’t get an appropriate education on line and absent from the classrooms.
Sounds like another political desperate maneuver to move there career forward banking on public ignorance as as accelerator. Look out Florida your next.
America loves banning away their problems, although we know that won’t stop anything whatsoever.
What happens when there’s no one left to ban?
