I'm not against honest disclosure in principle, I'm just saying that implementation will be difficult when pretty much every job application ever is about making yourself look as good as possible, and politics is even moreso. It may not be worth a legal solution when alternatives exist.

I'm pretty sure there's a bare minimum of standards that can be verified.
"I worked at this company"-there must be a record of employment to verify.
"I graduated from this university"-pretty easy to verify attendance and what degree was conferred.
This isn't rocket science guys. I'm not talking the identity politics stuff of "Hey, I'm Jew-ish, not Jewish". This is easily confirmed facts. I don't think that's beyond the pale.
