What’s next in Iowa, banning globes?

Many Iowans, including more than a few Iowa legislators, believe the earth is flat. Many of these folks will not cross the 'big waters” that border our state on the east and west (nor venture too far north or south) for fear of falling off into the Marxist netherworlds that surround us.
To protect the delicate sensitivities of these people, it is high time that we put some limits on the teaching of 'round world theory.” Hence, the Iowa Legislature should immediately mandate bans on the display of any photographic evidence suggesting a 'round”
earth, forbid the display of those arrogant 'earth flags” and remove all globes from our public schools, If our legislators will not protect us from such heresies, who will?
