There are school districts in in 19 states sending "your-kid-is-fat" letters home to parents of students, based on body mass index readings these factories of totalitarianism subject the young cattle-in-training to at the beginning of the school year. It seems to have originated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
On how many levels is this wrong?
1.) It's none of the government's business what any of us weigh.
2.) It involves the government in the family life of the child and undermines parents' rights to raise children as they see fit.
3.) It softens up the populace for the massive collection of data on each of us comrades that is coming down the pike unless FHer-care is stopped. (Call your Representatives and Senators and demand defunding before the exchanges kick in on October 1.)
4.) It could have self-esteem impact on kids at vulnerable points in their development. Maybe even trigger eating disorders.
5.) Schools are places for learning reading, literature, language, math, geography and science. This is way outside their purview.
