I did't watch it either but my guess is that if you're fat, you get an F. If you're anorexic, you get an A. If you're chubby, you get a C. Etc.

Texas wants to grade your kid size/weight ratio as an another regular class. You will end up with an "F" in your records because you are fat.

Maybe they should just excute you because you don't have blue eyes and golden hair.

I know... we could pull the driver's license of everyone over a precalculated weight for their height! Get to walking fatty!

This reminds me of our new Sheriff. In his first interview he stated all new hires would have to pass "strict physical requirements". He failed to mention his chief deputy is 5'9" and weighs over 400lbs.

I'm so glad we have the government here to protect us from ourselves.

The ironic aspect can only be fully appreciated by a full body photo of the legislator who proposed this.

Nutrition should be taught at schools, not this crap.

However one could say this law really isnt much differnt than grading PE classes, I know for a fact that fat out of shape kids god bad grades in our PE classes. They were essentially graded on their weight and physical shape.
