A course on our Constitution is unconstitutional? And even the requirement to graduate, “power of his loyalty” to the Constitution had been examined.", should not be an issue - if you are an American, your loyalty should be to our Constitution.

Judging by how a lot of young people flout the Constitution or misunderstand the meaning of the words, this is sorely needed everywhere.

The only person that said that it was "unconstitutional" to teach the constitution was the idiot that wrote the article you posted.
Dr Harris Pastides, in 2014, sent a letter to a SC State Senator that pointed out problems with the 1924 statutes on the issue, and asking that the Senate look at updating the law. He also pointed out that 60% of USC students took in-person courses that included instruction on the Constitution, Declaration, etc., and the other 40% had AP, CLEP, or other credits that covered the same subject. See https://sc.edu/about/our_leadership/president/letters/2014_04_founding_documents.php
What Dr Pastides did state, correctly, was that the requirement that a graduate of USC be loyal to the United States was likely unconstitutional, see Speiser v. Randall, 357 U.S. 513 (1958).
You should probably stop reading the Patriotpost.us and stick with reputable sources.

To my knowledge, every US citizen takes to oath to be loyal to the US Constitution as a requirement - why would the requirement to graduate be any different, let alone unconstitutional? And the professor using 'likely' before unconstitutional is just a nuance, otherwise he would have not sent the letter.

SGT Kevin Berman - Your knowledge is incorrect. There is no requirement for any citizen to take a loyalty oath. Second, it is a free speech issue, which you would have realized if you had read the Speiser case. Third, Dr Pastides isn't merely a professor, he is the President of the Univ. of South Carolina, and his letter was about a problem with an old law from 1924 that needed to be updated.
You know, if you're not going to read the information I posted, it's probably better to not make comments on it.
