HAMLIN, Circuit Judge
(dissenting) :
I respectfully dissent.
I see nothing unconstitutional in the oath under consideration and no reason why any person employed as a teacher in our schools should object to taking it.
The instant oath is not identical with the oath discussed in Baggett v. Bullitt, 377 U.S. 360, 84 S.Ct. 1316, 12 L.Ed.2d 377, and does not contain some of the features there held objectionable.
I do not believe this court should further extend the Baggett decision.
