Texas New Fingerprinting Law

Should teachers, janitors, cafeteria workers and other school support employees be fingerprinted? Texas seems to think so considering they made it a mandatory fingerprinting law. They believe it will make schools safer and I agree. I would have much more peace of mind knowing that my children were in a criminal free environment. Teachers have argued that the new law is an invasion of privacy. I believe that if you have nothing to hide than it should not be a problem. I do not have children of my own, but I could not stand the thought of my nieces being surrounded from day to day by someone with violence issues. This law will not prevent anything bad from ever happening again, but it will cut back on opportunities for bad things to happen. I belive this article is important to most people, because the majority of the population reproduces and will send their children to school if their children are not already in school.
