헌법은 모든 국민에게 '언론과 표현의 자유'를 기본권으로 보장하고 있습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 시국에 대한 입장을 밝혔다는 이유만으로 1만7천에 이르는 교사들을 전원 징계하겠다는 사상 유례없는 교과부의 방침을 접하며 우리 교사들은 이제 민주주의를 어떻게 가르쳐야 할지 당혹스러움을 느낍니다.

Judgment on the assertion by the Defendants and defense counsel under Article 334(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act
1. Summary of the defendants and defense counsel's assertion
The facts of the facts charged in this case are acknowledged, but it should be interpreted that ① prohibiting collective acts for purposes other than official duties of a public official under Article 66(1) of the State Public Officials Act is prohibited, and ② The political neutrality obligation of a public official as prescribed by the State Public Officials Act refers to an act that mainly supports or oppose a specific political party and an act that is likely to affect an election. The contents of the Assembly and Demonstration Act do not constitute a violation of a political neutrality obligation, and ③ the contents of the Assembly and Demonstration do not constitute a violation of a political neutrality obligation inasmuch as the contents of the Assembly and Demonstration do not have any clear intent to influence an election, and ③ the contents of the Assembly and Demonstration do not directly go against the public interest. ④ The Assembly and Demonstration does not have any content contrary to the public interest, ④ the Assembly and Demonstration was signed within several hours, and announced outside working hours, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the Assembly and Demonstration failed to perform a duty of care as a teacher due to the act of a public official.
Therefore, each assembly of this case does not constitute a collective act for purposes other than public duties prohibited under Article 66 of the State Public Officials Act, and thus, the Defendants’ act should be acquitted.
2. Determination
A. The meaning of Article 66(1) of the State Public Officials Act
Article 66 (1) of the State Public Officials Act, the applicable provisions of this case, provides that "no public official shall engage in collective action for any labor campaign or other work other than public service." The prohibition of collective action of public officials for any work other than public service is defined as one of the obligations arising from a special status of public officials because collective action of public officials is likely to obstruct the overall public interest by representing the interests of the group of public officials." The "collective action for any work other than public service" in the above provision does not mean any collective action conducted by public officials for any work other than public service, but rather means any collective action conducted by public officials for any work other than public service, but it means the media, publication, assembly, and association freedom, the constitutional principle, the purport of the State Public Officials Act, the State Public Officials Act's duty to maintain good faith and duty to maintain good faith under the State Public Officials Act, etc. (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2003Do2960, Apr. 15, 2005; 2008Do305.).
Therefore, in determining whether a collective act is an act for activities other than public service, which is prohibited by Article 66 (1) of the State Public Officials Act, the criteria for public officials such as ① for the purpose against public interest, ② for the purpose against public interest, ② for the purpose of neglecting the duty of care, etc.
B. Whether each assembly or demonstration of this case was against public interest
1) Criteria for determining the purpose contrary to the public interest
It is difficult to uniformly explain what the purpose is contrary to the public interest, and it is necessary to determine whether there is substantial infringement of the public interest depending on the case. However, the legislators enacted a statute that limits the freedom and rights of the people or imposes certain obligations on the people on the grounds that it is necessary for the public interest. A group of public officials committed a violation of such statute, even if a group of public officials did not directly violate such statute or directly violate such provision, if it actually avoided such restriction or obligation, and if it results in a violation of such provision, it is a substantial infringement of the public interest that the provision intends to protect, and it is an act
In accordance with Article 56 of the State Public Officials Act, the duty to observe the laws and regulations and to perform duties faithfully shall also be supported.
헌법은 제21조에서 모든 국민에 대하여 언론·출판·집회·결사의 자유, 즉 표현의 자유를 보장하고 있고 여기에는 국가권력의 간섭이나 통제를 받지 아니하고 자유롭게 정치적 의사를 형성 발표할 수 있는 정치적 표현의 자유도 포함된다. 그러나 다른 기본권과 마찬가지로 정치적 표현의 자유도 절대적인 것은 아니고 헌법 제37조 제2항에 따라 국가안전보장 질서유지 또는 공공복리를 위하여 필요한 경우 법률로써 제한할 수 있음은 명백하다. 헌법 제7조 제1항은 "공무원은 국민전체에 대한 봉사자이며, 국민에 대하여 책임을 진다."고 규정함으로써 공무원은 국민전체의 이익을 위해 봉사해야 하는 입장에 있으며 일부의 국민이나 특정 정파 혹은 정당의 이익을 위해 봉사하는 입장이 아님을 분명히 밝히면서, 같은 조 제2항에서 “공무원의 신분과 정치적 중립성은 법률이 정하는 바에 의하여 보장된다”고 규정하여 공무원에 대한 정치적 중립성을 요구하고 있는 바, 이러한 규정들은 공무원이 집권세력의 논공행상의 제물이 되는 엽관 제도를 지양하고, 정권교체에 따른 국가작용의 중단과 혼란을 예방하며 일관성 있는 공무수행의 독자성 및 영속성을 유지하기 위하여 헌법과 법률로써 공무원의 신분을 보장하려는 것으로, 그러한 보장이 있음으로 해서 모든 공무원은 어떤 특정 정당이나 특정 상급자를 위하여 충성하는 것이 아니라 국민전체에 대한 공복으로서 법에 따라 그 소임을 다할 수 있게 되는 것이며, 이는 당해 공무원의 권리나 이익의 보호에 그치지 않고 국가통치 차원에서의 정치적 안정의 유지에 기여할 수 있기 때문이다(헌법재판소 1992. 11. 12.자 91헌가2 전원재판부 결정 참조). 공무원에 대한 위와 같은 헌법의 요청에 의해 국가공무원법은 제65조에서 공무원이 정당이나 정치단체의 결성에 관여하거나 가입하는 행위, 선거에서 특정 정당 또는 특정인을 지지 또는 반대하기 위한 행위 등을 금지하고 있고, 공직선거법 제9조 제1항은 공무원은 선거에 대한 부당한 영향력의 행사 기타 선거결과에 영향을 미치는 행위를 금지하고 있으며, 공무원의 노동조합 설립 및 운영 등에 관한 법률 제4조는 공무원의 노동조합과 그 조합원의 정치활동을 금지하는 등 공무원에 대한 정치적 의사표현의 자유를 제한하는 법률 규정들이 제정되었다. 이와 같은 공무원에 대한 정치적 중립성의 요청은 “교육의 자주성·전문성·정 치적 중립성 및 대학의 자율성은 법률이 정하는 바에 의하여 보장된다”고 규정한 헌법 제31조 제4항에 의해 교육 분야에서 종사하는 교육공무원에게까지 제도적으로 보장되는 바(헌법재판소 2004. 3. 25.자 2001헌마710 전원재판부 결정), “교육은 교육 본래의 목적에 따라 그 기능을 다하도록 운영되어야 하며, 정치적·파당적 또는 개인적 편견을 전파하기 위한 방편으로 이용되어서는 아니된다”고 규정한 교육기본법 제6조 제1 항, “교원은 특정한 정당이나 정파를 지지하거나 반대하기 위하여 학생을 지도하거나 선동하여서는 아니 된다”라고 규정한 같은 법 제14조 제4항 등이 교원에 대하여 정치적 의사표현의 자유를 포함한 정치적 활동의 자유를 일정한 범위 내에서 제한하고 있고, 특히 구 교원의 노동조합 설립 및 운영 등에 관한 법률(2010. 3. 17. 법률 제10132호로 개정되기 전의 것, 이하 '교원노조법'이라 한다) 제3조는 “교원의 노동조합은 일체의 정치활동을 하여서는 아니된다”고 규정하여 교원 노동조합의 정치적 활동의 자유를 엄격하게 제한하고 있다. 이러한 규정들은 교육의 자주성·전문성 정치적 중립성의 보장이라는 공익을 실현할 목적으로 어린이와 청소년에 대한 초·중등교육을 담당하는 직무의 특수성을 가진 교원 및 교원의 노동조합에 대한 정치적 의사표현의 자유를 포함하는 정치적 활동의 자유를 제한하고 있는 것인바, 결국 이러한 규정을 위반하는 행위는 공익에 반하는 행위로 볼 수밖에 없고, 공무원인 교원이 그와 같은 규정에 위반되는 집단적 행위를 하였다면 이는 결국 공익에 반하는 목적을 위한 집단행위에 해당한다 할 것이다.
2. Whether each assembly or demonstration violated Article 3 of the Act on the Assistance to Teachers’ Unions
(1) Article 3 of the Act on the Assistance to Teachers and Fisheries provides that “no labor union shall engage in any political activity.” However, in light of the principle of political neutrality of public officials and education prescribed in the Constitution and the legislative purport of the Act on the Protection of Workers and the Framework Act on Education, etc., it seems that a public official is obliged to keep more strict political neutrality in performing his/her duties because of the unique nature of his/her duties as a public official and a teacher taking charge of elementary and secondary education for children and juveniles beyond those of the Act on the Protection of Workers and the Act on the Protection of Workers and the Act on the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Protection of Workers and the Act.
나) 그 다음 이 사건 각 시국선언이 교원 노동조합에 의하여 이루어 진 것인지,에 관하여 살펴보면, 앞에서 든 증거들에 의하면, 이 사건 각 시국선언은 H 중앙집행 위원회(본부 임원들인 위원장, 수석부위원장, 부위원장, 정책실장, 사무처장, 편집실장 및 전국 시·도지부장 등으로 구성되어 있다. 전원이 참석하여 전원 만장일치로 의사를 결정한다)에서 시국선언을 결의하고, H 본부에서 시국선언문을 작성하여 전국 16개 지부로 송부한 후, 각 지부별로 H 전임자들이 '시국선언문 서명 안내'를 홈페이지에 게시하고, 이메일 팩스 등의 방법으로 각 분회에 시국선언문 및 서명용지를 송부한 후, 그 회신을 취합하였으며, H 본부는 위와 같이 각 지부별로 취합된 서명을 전체적으로 다시 취합하여 기자회견 형식으로 시국선언문을 발표한 후, 인터넷 홈페이지에 시국선언문 및 서명자 명단을 게시한 사실을 인정할 수 있는 바, 위 인정사실 및 위 증거들에 의하여 인정되는 다음과 같은 사정, 즉 이 사건 시국선언은 개별 교원들이 주체가 되어 자발적으로 시작된 것이 아니라 H 집행부가 기획하여 미리 그 문안을 작성한 후 그 산하 조직을 통하여 조합원들을 독려함으로써 매우 짧은 기간 내에 이루어진 점, 이 사건 시국선언에 참여한 교사 중 상당수가 H 소속 조합원인데다가 그 발표자, 발표수단, 게재매체 등이 모두 H와 관련된 점 등에 비추어보면, 비록 이 사건 각 시국선언이 H의 명의가 아니라 '6월 민주항쟁의 소중한 가치를 기리는 P 외 16,171명의 교사' 또는 P 외 28,634명의 교사' 명의로 발표되었다 하더라도 이는 H가 그 조합원들을 포함한 교원들에게 법률에 의하여 금지된 정치적 의사를 집단적으로 표현하도록 유도함으로써 교원노조법 제3조의 규정을 우회적으로 회피하기 위한 것에 불과할 뿐 실질적으로는 H가 그 조직·기구를 이용하여 H 활동의 일환으로서 한 행위에 해당한다고 봄이 상당하다. 다) 그 다음 시국선언문이 발표가 정치활동에 해당하는지 여부에 관하여 살펴보면, 이는 그 시국선언의 목적과 경위, 동기, 구체적 표현 내용 등에 비추어 판단하여야 할 것인바(대법원 2006. 5. 12. 선고 2005도4513 판결 등 참조), 앞에서 든 증거들에 의하여 인정되는 다음과 같은 사정, 즉 ① 이 사건 각 시국선언문에는 다양한 집단의 정치적 이해관계가 첨예하게 대립되어 있는 미디어법 개정과 4대강 개발사업(이른바 한반도 대운하) 추진 등 정부 정책, 촛불집회와 피디수첩 관계자에 대한 수사, 용산화재 참사의 발생과 AJ 전 대통령의 서거 등 특정사건에 관한 일방적 견해가 표출되어 있고, 현 정권을 비민주적인 군사정권에 비유하면서 이 사건 각 시국선언이 그에 대항하는 진정한 민주적 저항정신의 발로라고 주장하는 내용이 주류를 이루고 있으며, 일부 교육정책에 관한 부분(교육복지의 확대, 학교운영의 민주화, 학생인권의 보장 등)이 포함되어 있지만 주된 논지는 아니어서, 근무조건이나 교육환경의 개선 등 교원 노동조합 및 그 조합원의 경제적·사회적 지위 향상으로 한정된 교원 노동조합의 설립 취지와 활동 범위를 명백하게 벗어난 정치적 의사의 집단적 표현에 해당하는 것으로 보이는 점, ② 이 사건 각 시국선언은 H 집행부의 기획, 조직 및 독려에 의하여 매우 짧은 기간 내에 이루어진 것으로, H 집행부는 AJ 전 대통령의 서거(2009. 5. 23.) 이후 정부의 각종 정책에 대하여 첨예한 정파 간의 대립이 이어지는 시점에서 이 사건 각 시국선언을 함으로써 정부를 압박하고 H가 반대하는 정책의 결정 및 집행을 저지하려고 하였던 것으로 보이는 점, ③ 이 사건 각 시국선언으로 말미암아 당시 시국상황에 관한 인식에 있어 사회적 이해관계가 다른 국민들 사이에 갈등과 혼란을 유발하고, 공무원인 교원의 정치적 중립성에 대한 국민의 신뢰, 특히 교사의 정치적 중립에 대한 학생 및 학부모의 신뢰에 상당히 부정적인 영향을 미쳤음을 부정할 수 없는 점, 교사들의 발언과 행동이 학생들에게 미치는 광범위한 파급효과와 오늘날 매스컴이나 인터넷이 발휘하는 전파력 등을 감안하면, 교사들이 학생들에게 지식의 전수라는 간접적인 방식을 통한 정치교육이 아니라 집단적으로 정부를 비난하는 내용의 시국성명을 발표하는 행위는 설령 학교수업 외에서 이루어진 것이라 하더라도 학생들로 하여금 편향적인 시각을 갖게 하는 결과를 초래할 위험성이 매우 크고 정치적으로 중립적인 교사들로부터 교육을 받고자 하는 통상적인 학부모들의 요구와도 상충되는 점 등을 종합하면, 이 사건 각 시국선언은 교원 노동조합인 H가 법이 허용하는 테두리를 넘어 특정 정치세력 또는 그 정책에 대한 비판과 반대의 의사표시를 담고 있는 정치적 의사를 표현하여 교원노조법 제3조에서 금지하고 있는 정치활동을 한 것일 뿐만 아니라, 실질적으로도 공익에 반하는 목적을 위한 것으로 보기에 충분하다.다. 직무전념의무를 해태하는 등의 영향을 가져오는 행위인지 여부
As seen above, insofar as the Defendants committed an act contrary to the public interest in violation of the Teachers’ Labor Assistance Act, the Defendants were deemed to have committed an act that may affect the Defendants’ failure to perform their duties and neglecting their duty of care.
In light of the above legal principles, the Defendants’ act of violating the Assembly and Demonstration Act’s duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 200Du16786, Jun. 23, 2009). The Defendants’ act of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of care or duty of labor union.
D. Conclusion
Thus, each act of the assembly and demonstration of this case constitutes a collective act prohibited by the State Public Officials Act, which affects the duty of care for the purpose of violating the public interest. Thus, the defendants and defense counsel's above assertion is without merit.
It is so decided as per Disposition for the above reasons.
