Checking for a record of serious sex offenses (or violent felonies) is one thing, but (from the article) what does KKK membership have to do with protecting youth from predators? The great liberal icon Hugo L. Black belonged to the Klan. So did Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Should umpires be asked whether they ever belonged to the Communist Party? Whether they own a gun or hunt? Whether they favor affirmative action? Whether they eat meat or wear fur? Whether they ever used illegal drugs? Should all umpires have to be adjudged politically correct?
