Reply #4: I did quit.

[no_hypocrisy]

Back in '84 I was working for an NYC daycare center as a teacher. Then the child abuse scandals in another borough tainted my career. The quick fix was to institute fingerprinting of existing and future employees. I went to the union, asking for protection against being fingerprinted if I were be arrested. All the union was interested in achieving at the time was getting three more minutes for lunch break. The deal was either you got fingerprinted or you got fired with the reason why you were fired as refusing to submit to fingerprinting.

I chose none of the above. I quit before the day I was scheduled to get printed and my record was intact, but I stopped teaching.

My suspicions about the inaccuracies were confirmed as I watched my former coworkers get false positives and be suspended without pay.

I know, I know, it's children. Small children. But my point was a criminal investigation was possible without fingerprints. Now it's a regular standard of being hired in all schools.

I miss the kids, but I'd quit all over again.
