I heard Todd Schnitt on his show out of Tampa say this story was debunked. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s true, but apparently it’s a hoax.

Article only says:

“Some people have questioned if the letter is a hoax, but it has sparked outrage nonetheless.”

BUT other things, like this is NOT:

‘Some California and Massachusetts schools have also been accused of sending “fat letters” home with students. These notes include scores of a child’s mass index (BMI), a height-to-weight ratio that is used by medical professionals to designate if a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. Other letters directly address if a child is overweight and obese, and include recommendations on how to help the child lose weight.

The practice has been discontinued in Mass. because of fears that the letters may cause self-esteem and bullying issues. “

The “fat letter” is a reality, and apparently schools actually send these home with kids who have “failed” the BMI test.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some idiot white liberal Obama voter decided to do her own neighborhood fat monitoring program.

Its one of those highly annoying morning shows on Fargo radio. My kids listen to it. They get callers to talk on about their private lives etc. Its all voice acted.

I'll bet they can't believe how far they got with it.
