Per the article:
has been told that she can no longer work with the public school district, after she refused to sign an oath vowing that she “does not” and “will not” engage in a boycott of Israel or “otherwise tak[e] any action that is intended to inflict economic harm” on that foreign nation.
I don't see an oath to the country
I see an oath not to engage in a harmful act to another country...
And using a government position, ie college teacher, to promote it.
she has aright to political speech outside of work. The school district is public agency and cannot prohibit her political speech The oath does exactly that.
*** I see an oath not to engage in a harmful act to another country... ***
Do you know that in Dickinson, TX after Hurricane Harvey, Citizens not signing, “the oath” were denied damages relief?
The lady didn’t sign because she does not buy products produced in Israel. She has lost her job because of that.
It is a horrible law. What if it were a law punishing people who decide to buy made in America, instead of made in China?
I am a Texan, and support BDS. A consumer should be able to spend their money on things not produced in a particular country if he chooses.
