Coulter Can't Teach in Iowa Now: New Anti-Bullying Law
" Iowa's governor signs anti-bullying bill": http://news.yahoo.com/s/po/20070307/co_po/iowasgovernorsignsantibullyingbill
********************************************************************
Iowa governor Chet Culver, a Democrat, signed an antibullying measure into law Monday that will protect the state's students from harassment and intimidation over their sexual orientation or gender identification.

The measure also protects females and students of color, but the LGBT aspects of the measure sparked the most controversy.

"Now that we have the policy, we must all work together to give our educators and administrators the training and tools necessary to eliminate bullying in our schools forever," Culver said in a statement accompanying his signature.

The measure establishes a state policy barring school employees, volunteers, and students from harassing or bullying students, and it requires school administrators to file reports about incidents involving harassment.

The measure was hailed by the LGBT advocacy group Iowa Pride Network, which in a survey found that 83 percent of openly gay students were harassed because of their sexual orientation. (The Advocate)

One less career option for Ann.

1. We don't want her(?) in Iowa
Of course, any person with a brain in any state in the Union doesn't want her(?) either. I suppose she(?) could go to certain parts of the city I live in at around 2AM and see how far she(?) gets with that attitude.

2.  Why the question marks after "her" and "she"?
What difference does her sexuality make?

3. To answer your question
Because I like to make fun of Ann Coulter. I don't give a rats ass about Coulter's sexuality. I can't stand Coulter anyway, be it a man or a woman.
