Radio Iowa, a network of 60 stations has rejected ads aimed at educating people about the problems LGBT students have at the hands of bullies.

The ads were produced for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network and are running in six other states.

Learfield Communications, which owns Radio Iowa, rejected the ads calling them controversial

1. educating kids to not bully people that are different is "controversial"?

so, by extension, bullying someone who is different is NOT controversial.

AND, we are all aware of the problem of bullying those who conform and are the "same", right?

SO, bullying OK.
