I have a problem with it. What business is it of the government's? Or the school's? And I have absolutely no faith in school officials or nurses being any more empathetic or supportive of the obese than the general public is. These kids might not get their weights yelled out in front of their classmates, but I guarantee you more than a few of them will get called names, given lectures and ridiculed by the adults while they are being weighed. And being children, they'll have to sit and take it, after all, it's for their own good, right?
