Kylee Moss, a 7-year-old-girl from Belton, Missouri, was sent home from school with a note to her mother saying that the 54-pound child’s Body Mass Index (BMI) was too high.

Aside from the idiocy of using a discredited measurement for body fat, what are these administrators thinking? Obviously, they’re not. If they had two working brain cells, they would take one look at this kid and realize the stupidity of believing their “measurements.”

Yes, she seem rather skinny. Not super skinny though.

These people have to get it through their thick heads that people come in different sizes. Sheesh!

Let’s see the BMI data on the school officials, the teachers and Michelle Obama.

The SABCI (School Administrator Brain Cell Index) requires an average of only one functioning brain cell per administrator. So, if several administrators have two or even three working brain cells, some administrators within the measured group may have none.

But they will still be on the payroll and in the union.

She looks clean, decently dressed, and someone bought a pair of glasses for her and a darn nice bubble wand (better than any I had at her age), so they must be doing okay to some degree. :-)

I would respond with a letter from my lawyer reminding the school that BMI is part of the medical profession and in most states, giving medical advice without a license is a crime. However, since they now have instituted a MEDICAL RECORD, they can provide details on their HIPPA compliance.

I found their baseline data and put it in for their BMI but for Michelle Obama my calculator is getting an error.

Why is this school weighing children? They have no business doing that.

BMI is BS and the creator of the scale even admitted that it’s not appropriate for general population statistics.

Yes, but the small-minded control freaks are eager to bow down to these false gods of numerology in order to accuse and abuse. Nothing like jumping to any conclusion to feel good about their petty, do-gooder selves, no matter who is damaged in the process.

It's all about the degenerate, corrupt soul of the do-gooder needing to take the "moral high ground".

In this case they've attempted to snatch a 7 YO for a sacrifice on the altar of government statistics. Suppose by roasting an innocent child, they hope noone will notice their Moochelle-bottomed selves scarfing donuts in the break room.

Indeed.

All this campaigning against “bullying”, and the WORST bullies are the teachers themselves.

I’ve read that height to waist ratio is a more legitimate measure.

They should leave medicine and medical opinions to medical professionals.
