  Case: Peace Corps
Before you started teaching, you served in the Peace Corps. While overseas, you were arrested, jailed, charged, and convicted for "subversive activities" not appreciated by the foreign government. It was years ago and you do not report the charge on your application. Were principles violated?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I don't think these past charges are anyone's business, especially if they are far enough in the past.

I don't like how modern society judges people all their lives for mistakes that people make when they are young.

While I think honesty is always best, I imagine being forthright with this will prevent you from being hired.

I think anyone who is not "subversive" in any way, does not have their priorities in the proper place.

I myself have been jailed for subversive activities. I don't think I will bring it up in an interview.

Comments: I disagree with this solution. Even though it shouldn't stop this person from getting the job, charges of any kind except traffic tickets need to be reported in any job application. That doesn't necessarily mean that this charge will prevent them from being hired. That would be discussed in the interview.

Comments: It would be against the code of ethics if you do not disclose this kind of information. No matter how far back in the past it was.

Comments: This isn't the best solution due to the fact that they need to report this if they were ever arrested.
