too fat to graduate??

This is so fucked up.  And this is also probably the only thing that I’ve ever watched from Fox that hasn’t made me angry @ Fox.

The faculty guy kept saying “We as faculty recognize…blah blah”

Apparently what the faculty doesn’t recognize is their class privilege, and this guy’s white privilege.  Obesity tends to affect Black, Latino, and poor people at a higher rate than other demographic groups.

So what students are going to be targeted by this program and consequently be held back from graduating?

The same students that are already at a disadvantage and will continue to be at a disadvantage upon graduating.  The same students that already don’t have  access to health care and the good-old-boy/girl networks that usually help young people get their first professional jobs.
