State Representative Richard R. Caples (D-Boston) last week field a bill to require all Massachusetts high schools to give a course "exposing Communist and other subversive doctrines."
The bill would also help high school graduates in the armed forces know what they are "fighting against," he added. Caples's bill would require loyalty oaths for all teachers giving the course, open only to seniors. The teachers would have to swear that they had never been Communists and were not connected with any subversive organizations.
