What was 1951 Oklahoma loyalty oath law?
All state officers and employees were required to swear an oath of allegiance to the United States of America, reaffirming that they did not advocate the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, and denying involvement with or support of any "agency, party, organisation, association, or group whatever which has been officially determined by the United States Attorney General or other authorised agency of the United States." This law was enacted in Oklahoma in 1950.At Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, a number of faculty members and employees declined to take the oath within the necessary 30 days of employment. Paul, an Oklahoman, filed a lawsuit in Oklahoma County's District Court to have the state stop paying these people's salaries. The professors and staff members requested and were granted permission to intervene in the lawsuit. They claimed that the Act violated the due process provision of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, was a bill of attainder, an ex post facto statute, prevented them from carrying out their obligations with the state, and was a bill of attainder.
