The school would definitely hear from me, if I ever got a letter re: my children's weight, food they eat/ate or anything that didn't pertain to their education.

Check out the teachers and administrators - evaluate their weights and heights and see how they pan out.

Anything but actually try to educate the students is what you can expect from a Public School run by Union Thugs!!!

Does the school also send home letters advising the parents their child has blue eyes, is pigeon-toed, and has thick hair? /sarc

Brought to you by the same people, no doubt, who believe your 1st grader should know how to put a condom on a cucumber.

Has anyone seen Hannity’s “Man on the Street” or Jay Leno’s “Jaywalking”? These dumbasses can’t even find Utah on a map. Maybe schools ought to start sticking to reading, writing, & ‘rithmitic.

Nosey bastards.

This is just the first step of the government charging you with being an unfit parent and taking your children away from you. These people need to be brought down, hard.

Chubby elementary school children in Flagstaff, Ariz., have more than just bullies to worry about. If they’re too fat, their school will notify their parents.

Wow, next they will start reporting bad grades to their parents or something intrusive like that.

They don’t even care about kids being overweight. The school district just cares about breaking down the resistance of parents to an unsubstantiated authority.”

I think he hit the nail squarely on the head with that statement.

Most of these fat kids parents are just as fat as the kids. What purpose is the letter going to do? More stupidity and interference from bureaucrats.

If my child was in that school district, I would get a directory of the teachers and send them each an opinion or rating of their mental health, their weight issues, their ability to get along with others, fashion sense, ability to get and/or stay married as well as a graph on how attractive/unattractive they are. And God help them if they are involved in any scandal. I would think their neighbors and church would deserve information on that as well. And pictures too.

You can bet this will be mostly children that fall into what most people consider normal ranges. Because these health nazis want everybody rail thin like our so called prez. Not every child who is chubby grows up to be heavy as an adult. Yes some do, but not all.Also there are a lot of Hispanic children in Arizona - they tend to be a little heavier and shorter. Black children and white children of German and Scandinavian heritage are big boned. Asian children a little shorter, some Indian tribes are naturally heavy set are they going to take all those ethnic factors into account ? My guess is no and a lot of children are going to be really miserable because of this.And ethnicity aside some people are just big. I wonder how football coaches are going to enjoy trying to coach underweight malnourished kids. It’s only a matter of time before cps tries to take kids for this. Oh and think of the divorce lawyers. Daddy gave him an ice cream, mommy cooks with to much greases!!!!

Well parents from Flagstaff should go to the schools and personally check out the whole entire administrative and Teaching staff. Check to see the ones who are overweight or obese. Then send letters BACK to THEM telling them when they take action...then and only maybe then...will the parents give the letters THEY received any credibility at all. Go, go, go...check them out.

Many pediatricians feel it is good for children to be somewhat overweight to improve chances of survival in case of an epidemic.

I have one better for you. How many of the teachers, principals, and BOE members are overweight?

Tell them to STFU!

K. Alison Clarke-Stewart, a psychology and social behavior professor at the University of California, Irvine, expressed concern that letters of this nature could potentially harm the self esteem of children.

Oh here we go again the old self esteem canard.. What we need is good old Sam Kinison screaming in their face telling how fat they are.

Now that we have centralized health care, we are quickly aping all the most ugly parts of British elitism. We can’t say “mind your own business” as the government has their hands in our pants and control over our doctors.

“The school district just cares about breaking down the resistance of parents to an unsubstantiated authority.”

This sentence nails it.

I thought schools were supposed to help kids build a positive self-image.

“Yes, and he’s ugly too.”
