...worth repeating. Legally, the disclaimer provides criminal penalties for a false statement on questions of belief or opinion. Far worse, any university which administers this vaguely-worded affidavit becomes an instrument of the government, enforcing an official, safe norm of belief. Although it has been suggested that Harvard accept NDEA money and provide separate scholarship funds for those students who refuse to sign the affidavit, this suggestion begs the moral question.

...reason the NDEA is attractive to education schools, Keppel pointed out, is that graduates can get 10 per cent of their debts forgiven for every year they teach on the primary or secondary level. This reduction can reach 50 per cent of the loan...
