In 1966, a teacher was arrested for being a member of a Communist sympathizing group. When she signed her contract, she had taken a vow that she was not a Communist, but she was found on the weekend sending pamphlets supporting Communist revolutions in other countries. After further examination, they found that she had written several articles for a Communist newspaper and had been active in creating a socialist political party. She was fired for her actions and sued the school district.
Were they right in firing her? Why would they be concerned about a teacher as opposed to another profession? Share your reflections about the case.
