Is this strip-search policy dangerous to our society?
Right now in Colorado, we have a government job description (social worker in the Department of Human Services) where the job gives the worker discretion to view naked children and take pictures of them. We know from bitter experience that child sexual offenders seek out jobs where they have access to children. In our opinion, DHS’s current position on strip-searching is recklessly endangering children in our society.
