It signals, that if you hold a harmful ideology, that not only should you change to it, but that you should be ashamed enough that you will never admit that you even held these ideas in the past. It is not that hard, for most people (emphasis on most. If you run for senate, or something, it is a different story), to simply lie and say that they never held these opinions in the past. Incentivizing people who believe these things, to vehemently deny they every held them, doesn't sound too bad of an outcome to me.
