I'm trying to get a social group started in my local town, and an interesting question came up during one of our planning discussions tonight. As it stands, our by-laws allow anyone aged 14 and up to join, provided that any minor has parental consent. Due to this, I know that many parents would pull their children out if they knew we allowed felons or sex offenders to join this group, so is it legal to bar these people from joining?
My primary concern would be the sex offenders, the question just also came up about the convicted felons. Regarding the convicted felons, I should've been more specific. While I'm not going to run a background check on everyone other than running their name through the sex offenders database, what if someone straight out tells us they're a felon? Would they be able to sue or prosecute if we denied them entry because of that?
