Conscientious Objector Held Unfit as Teacher
FRANKFORT Ky June 24 A conscientious objector is deemed more of a menace than a Japanese invader in a decision by the Kentucky education board ruling a conscientious objector cannot be employed as a school teacher. The ruling cites the objector’s potential to undermine public morale and the structure of society, and notes the board lacks authority to place such individuals in public employment. The opinion stresses that public funds should not support a public employee who could disseminate anti-government ideas.
