The situation in California is illustrative. California laws prohibited individuals who engaged in "immoral conduct" (which was construed to include homosexual behavior), as well as those convicted of "sex offenses" (like sodomy), from employment as teachers. Cal. Educ. Code Ann. §§ 13202, 13207, 13209, 13218, 13255 (West 1960). The teaching certificates of individuals convicted of engaging in homosexual acts were *1771revoked. See, e.g. , Sarac v. State Bd. of Ed. , 249 Cal.App.2d 58, 62-64, 57 Cal.Rptr. 69, 72-73 (1967) (upholding revocation of secondary teaching credential from teacher who was convicted of engaging in homosexual conduct on public beach), overruled in part, Morrison v. State Bd. of Ed. , 1 Cal.3d 214, 461 P.2d 375, 82 Cal.Rptr. 175 (1969).
