2. Obese people. why not include social studies to include the contributions that obese people have made to our society. Obese people in school get picked on all the time. Even liberal folks like some people here (not naming names), who champion diversity, always rails against “fat people”….
When does this hypersensitivity “training” ever going to end???[/quote]
BTW, I’m all for a mandatory weight management class and teaching kids where food comes from and how to cook it. It might be a good thing to start vegetable gardens on school grounds also.
Obesity is manageable. The problem is that kids think that eating pizza and drinking coke in front of the TV is normal. Not.
Oscar Wilde was gay and fat. He was also persecuted for being gay. Add him to the reading assignments.[/quote]
And thanks again for proving the irony between your claim to being a “liberal, all accepting, all inclusive person” and at the same time your view that “obese” people should be “managed”….(Why should obese people go through a mandatory weight management program? Why shouldn’t other’s just accept obese people?) You know, there are some people who are genetically “obese”….Not any different that some people who were born with a particular orientation…….
