Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

My teaching contract requires me to "affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of this state and of the United States." Is it legal for them to require this? How can anyone say that they will defend every law of the U.S. and Georgia? Does that mean that I am affirming to defend every law enacted by the U.S. and Georgia? How could I legally protest, lobby, or demonstrate against anything the government does? Am I reading more into this than is there? Could this also be a violation of freedom of religion?

Yes, you are reading way more into it that you should. Obey the law. If you can't do that, don't sign and get a job elsewhere.
