Can we please stop discriminating ex-cons? Stop asking them this on job applications and hosting contacts

  Then people just discriminate on the basis or race/appearances. I don't think there's any getting around the fact that employers want to know this information and will try and infer it if they don't have it.

  Certain fields legitimately should ask. If you’ve been convicted of financial crimes or theft a bank should know before hiring you. Likewise schools should know if you’ve hurt children before.

    100%. We’re seeing a huge (loud) “help the cons” movement, but the fact is a lot of them are bad people and we need to tread carefully. I for one will certainly not hire somebody who has committed certain classes of crimes, no matter how “rehabilitated” they claim they are.
