So I had to sign a loyalty oath to be a tutor

:wtf:

I had no idea being a tutor was such an exceptional position that I would have to swear to support and defend the Constitutions of both the US and California against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I'm not sure just how I am to do that - perhaps I shall smite them with my mighty red pen?

1. Beat up a Republican.

2. I had to do that in grad school to work in the school of Ag at U of Ariz.

i didn't even know what the Arizona constitution was, except that it allows you to drive 10mph in a 70mph zone while in Sun City. :hide:

4. It's just bizarre

I get this mental picture of a bunch of tutors armed with pocket protectors and calculators fending off the Red Menace or something.

It all seems to be based on a vaguely worded statute that says that "intermittent, temporary or emergency" workers can be required to take a loyalty oath at the discretion of the employer. I guess because it's a school, they want to cover all their bases but it seems very strange to me.

3. Sometimes my students don't say the Pledge in the morning. I garrott them.

After the first three or four fatalities in the classroom, the rest come around and show their patriotic spirit.
