On July 2, California SB 1322 passed the Assembly Appropriations Committee. It deletes some laws in the Education Code that discriminate against members of the Communist Party. If it is enacted into law, it may be then possible to delete similar laws in the Election Code. California is one of only six states that still has such laws in its election code. The others are Kansas, Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Such laws were all declared unconstitutional by a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court in 1974, and they also violate the Helsinki Accords.
