Sometimes you note that an article is incomplete, lacks references etc., but you should be ashamed to have such an article so clearly politically biased! There is doubt about much of wiki work in the general area of political reporting/history and this kind of article is the reason. For one, there is either no need for such a heading, since your first paragraph tries to distinguish loyalty oaths from loyalty statements, but the context re-conflates. Moreover, all three of the references to the heading Republican (2,3,4) were themselves misleading (2, less so, by acknowledging a legitimate purpose) in that the statements were NOT loyalty or even fealty oaths at all. I'm not signed in...I don't join much...but I have told you who I am below and now tell you I do not have high regard for a process that can have so much obvious bilge floating around as clean water. This is junk history, like anthropogenic global warming and creationism are junk science.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.54.37.103" title="Special:Contributions/173.54.37.103">173.54.37.103</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:173.54.37.103&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:173.54.37.103 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Loyalty_oath#c-173.54.37.103-2009-05-27T03:29:00.000Z-What_is_needed" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-173.54.37.103-2009-05-27T03:29:00.000Z-What_is_needed"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-173.54.37.103-2009-05-27T03:29:00.000Z-What_is_needed"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Supreme_Court_rulings_on_loyalty_oaths" data-mw-thread-id="h-Supreme_Court_rulings_on_loyalty_oaths-2006-07-10T10:32:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Supreme_Court_rulings_on_loyalty_oaths-2006-07-10T10:32:00.000Z"></span>Supreme Court rulings on loyalty oaths<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Supreme_Court_rulings_on_loyalty_oaths-2006-07-10T10:32:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Loyalty_oath&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Supreme Court rulings on loyalty oaths"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <dl><dd><i><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Cab88-2006-07-10T10:32:00.000Z-Supreme_Court_rulings_on_loyalty_oaths"></span>The U.S Supreme Court has both upheld the use of loyalty oaths and overturned lower court decisions upholding loyalty oaths.</i></dd></dl> <p>The above sentance in the article is vague and seems contradictory.

I realize that the <a href="/wiki/Levering_Act" title="Levering Act">Levering Act</a> already has a page of its own. This is merely a summary in an article filled with such summaries. I included the names of a few notable faculty members (i.e. those with Wikipedia pages) who either resigned or were fired as a result of the situation. I will probably find more and add them, with references, but for now, please understand that the 1950 events at UC were partially notable because of the notability of those who opposed and were caught up in the legal struggle surrounding the Loyalty Oath.
