If an individual is convicted of violent crimes then it stands to reason that they should lose some of their rights. It stands to reason because they have, by their criminal activity, encroached on the rights of others. In keeping with an overturned federal law, the state of Tennessee is, in essence, protecting the rights of criminals while increasing the potential risks of campus life. Students and parents alike have the right to safety for themselves and their children. By passing HB-1916, the state would be arming parents, and students, with information that would further increase their chances of a safe and healthy campus experience.
People have the right to protect themselves from harm.
Criminals should not have the right to go undetected in society. The state should seriously reconsider their stance on this issue. As for granting information to parents on their children's behavior, it should be a regular occurrence. Parents have every right to know of their children's behavior. Until children become completely independent, financially included, they are still the responsibility of the parents.
