Target, the giant corporation that tries to parade as both woke and responsible, is now being dragged to court for daring to check arrest records in their hiring process. Yes, you read that right: Target is in trouble for checking if someone about to work in their store has been arrested. Apparently, that’s just too much for today’s liberal lawyers and their activist clients.
A woman named McElrath-Bey got upset because Target looked into her background and found pending criminal charges. She claims she’s innocent and hasn’t been convicted—fair enough, that’s for the courts to decide. But why is it wrong for a company to want to protect its customers and employees by at least asking questions about active charges? In the upside-down world of left-wing social justice, that’s apparently discrimination.
This class action lawsuit is proof of how far our nation has fallen from basic common sense. Liberals scream about wanting safe communities, but the moment a business actually checks if an applicant has a criminal record, the lawsuits fly. This isn’t about fairness. It’s about stripping away a company’s right to keep their stores and shoppers safe. If someone’s charges are still pending, that’s something an employer deserves to know before handing over keys and cash registers.
The left demands that we hire anyone and everyone, no questions asked. They want us to ignore red flags and simply hope for the best. No wonder crime is exploding in liberal-run cities. Stores like Target are already suffering from organized theft rings, shoplifting mobs, and rising violence. But now, if they even try to do the bare minimum background check, they get dragged into court by the same activists who created this chaos.
This isn’t about protecting people’s rights. It’s about tying the hands of America’s businesses and chipping away at the standards that make our country strong. When did defending public safety become a crime? At this rate, only the criminals will have “rights” left. How many Target employees or shoppers have to get hurt before the left finally admits their “no one is accountable” policies are a disaster?
