Loyalty Oath
for Teachers?
May a public school teacher be
required to take a loyalty oath?
Yes, provided that the oath stays
within constitutional bounds.
Consider the case of a high
school teacher who balked at
swearing to uphold the state and
federal constitutions.
the goxernment was woitti the
pi ice of whatevei deprivation of
individual freedom of conscience
was involved."
Nevertheless, some oaths have
been thrown out by the courts
for going too far.
Another case involved a decla-
ration that the teacher had never
lent "aid, support, or advice" to
the Communist Party. Wouldn't
this apply, a court wondered, to
everyone who had ever supported
any cause that the Communist
Party had also happened to sup-
port?
Ihe court concluded that it was
unconstitutional to require an oath
"in terms so vague that men of
common intelligence must guess at
its meaning."

"I just don’t like the whole idea
of loyally oaths,” she explained
in a court hearing. They are an
infringement upon my freedom of
conscience."
But the judge said this kind of
an oath was nothing more than is
expected of most public officials,
up to and including the President.
He quoted the following comment
from the United States Supreme
Court:
"Obviously the framers of the
Constitution thought that an af-
