Forced loyalty oaths are fascism.
|
I am not against oaths, rental contracts are an oath, a promise to pay rent on time. And just like rental contracts, you are allowed to leave that contract without fear of retribution. I am however against force loyalty oaths, just like no one can force you to rent an apartment.

I'm glad the school apologized to the student for the teacher's conduct, but it never should have come to that. How the fuck does one get through grade school -- let alone college, as this teacher must have -- without an inkling of what the 1st Amendment is about?

Is the teacher fired? No? Why not?
What if we forced people to swear oaths with breakfast? There'd be some authoritarian asshole standing there shouting "EAT YOUR OATH MEAL!!!"
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
Hell, the fucking Jehovah's Witnesses haven't had to pledge allegiance since, IIRC, the 1940s !!!!!
