[234] New York Laws, 1949, c. 360. [235] 342 U.S. 485, 493. Justice Frankfurter dissented on jurisdictional grounds. Justices Black and Douglas attacked the merits of the decision.

Teachers are under constant surveillance; their pasts are combed for signs of disloyalty; their utterances are watched for clues to dangerous thoughts. A pall is cast over the classrooms. There can be no real academic freedom in that environment. Where suspicion fills the air and holds scholars in line for fear of their jobs, there can be no exercise of the free intellect. Supineness and dogmatism take the place of inquiry. A 'party line'--as dangerous as the 'party line' of the Communists
