Here is how this is to be handled:
People grow some balls and tell the schools and employers to go to hell.

The problem is.. that doesn't work! .. many employers use that as a condition of hire.. if you don't give it up, you don't get the job.. and in this job market, that puts a lot of pressure on the employee who's in need of work, to hand it over.. A law is needed merely because the employer can't be trusted to not demand it.. it's not a fair position to put the employee in.

I agree with you. But come on people.....this is not as difficult as it is made out to be. It is wrong, yes. But, either resist or just say you do not have one, although that could be unbelievable. Even still, people still need to stand up for themselves.
It is this sort of thing that makes governments big. Every little thing must have a law for or against it. When will people begin to start defending themselves instead of running to the government.
You mention that giving info is the basis for being hired, but if every single applicant had the intestinal fortitude to refuse, then the tables would turn. The employer would have to change their "requirements" because they would not be able to fill the position due to their immoral demands. Another perfect example of a divided nation. It would be called taking back our sovereignty.

The term in loco parentis, Latin for "in the place of a parent""[1] refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from English common law, it is applied in two separate areas of the law.
First, it allows institutions such as colleges and schools to act in the best interests of the students as they see fit, although not allowing what would be considered violations of the students' civil liberties.[1]
