"Consider," he said, "the utterly ridiculous condition which compels President Conant to take such an oath, while it allows a recently naturalized foreign priest to pour out over the radio the most poisonous and inflammatory economic and social nonsense." And quite aside from the fear that a strong oath bill may stifle intellectual freedom, Dr. Angell is rightly offended by the "outrageous implication" that teachers are less loyal than other groups in the community...
