And here, we can't even have an empty holster
In California, a professor is denied a contract because her Quaker beliefs did not permit her to sign a contract that contained a loyalty oath requiring her to defend the U.S. and state constitutions against all enemies, foreign and domestic. James Joyner thinks this is stupid:
I swore to protect the Constitution from its enemies three times — upon matriculating as a cadet, upon enlisting in the Army Reserve, and upon commissioning — and actually deployed to a combat zone pursuant to that oath. Several times in the ensuing years, I also signed contracts to teach at various colleges and universities. None of them asked to to sign any oaths and I’d have laughed at them if they had.I've never seen such an oath either.
