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

Based on the photo, I can only assume she has huge buttocks. Either that, or these people are just stupid.

“Aside from the idiocy of using a discredited measurement for body fat, what are these administrators thinking? “
Well, if the county patriots can get conservatives off their fat asses and storm the schoolboard with 1,000 protestors, they can tell the leftist schoolboard what they think.
If that can’t be done, well, BOHICA, fools.

BMI is a complete farce when it comes to any measure of fitness.
It’s completely dependent on just two numbers, height and weight.
Every single linebacker in the NFL is Class I or II obese according to BMI numbers.
Heck, if you’re a recreational weight lifter chances are your BMI tells you you’re obese.

Sent home? It could not wait until after classes?
Or maybe the headline needs a proofreader

The whole reason the note was sent is because the girl is trailer-trash.
Since she lives in a trailer park, therefore she must be overweight
