I think there may be a way to resolve this. Let's take both your
actual day job, and non-sexual crimes out of the equation. Let's also
remove your employer's policies from the discussion. We can also agree
that the actual legal situation permits this policy - Jay's (and my)
issue is whether it is appropriate.

What is left is you *defending* these policies. And that may have
happened in the heat of the discussion.

I'd like to reduce this to a few questions that I think extract all
the relevant information.

Leigha, can you state unequivocally "I believe it is inappropriate for
employers to use any arrest for an allegation of a sexual offense to
make personnel decisions before a trial has been completed?"

Can you state unequivocally that you will work towards law changes
that will outlaw using any arrest record for sexual offenses for
personnel decisions?

Can you state unequivocally, regardless of your employer's actual
policies, that the NCSF, and you personally, believe that the arrest
records for the following people should not be used for any personnel
decisions:

- The San Diego Six
- Genarlow Wilson
- Lawrence and Garner (of Lawrence v Texas)

I certainly hope you can answer each of these questions with a single
unqualified "Yes" - and if you do, my faith in the NCSF would be restored.
