A Victory for Our Children

By Ill. GOP Rep. Mark Kirk - 08/01/06 11:04 AM ET
I was proud to attend the bill signing ceremony for the Adam
Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act
. This comprehensive legislation is unprecedented in its aim to protect children from predators in the classroom, reduce and prevent gang violence and to protect those public officials and their families who often find themselves exposed to the most ruthless criminals in the United States. As part of our Suburban Agenda, the School Safety Acquiring Faculty Excellence Act is included in the enacted law. The provision will give schools access to federal databases to help keep pedophiles and violent criminals out of our classrooms. This legislation is a major victory for America's most valuable citizens - our children. ".
