An Indiana special education teacher who said gays have no purpose in life has been suspended.

Superintendent Mark Baker of the Northeast School Corporation in western Indiana's Sullivan County said the teacher is on administrative leave out of concern "for the safety and security of everyone in our buildings".

He said the "administration and one school employee in particular" at North Central Junior-Senior High School have received "aggressive email messages" and police are stationing officers there.
