Court Rejects Draft Deferment Sweep Against Protests
A federal appeals court ruled that draft boards cannot revoke deferments for antiwar activity even if demonstrations are illegal. The 3 judge panel said Hershey’s 1907 directive to reclassify protesters is not binding and that nonpayment of taxes or marching does not justify deferral loss. The decision notes potential chilling effects on legal conduct and cites picketing or blocking recruiters as examples not justifying reclassification.
