Because teaching kids it's OK to discriminate is cool.
This gets into all those tricky arguments about who decides what "fat" is, and what about medical conditions and... and... oh, forget it! Just oust the fatties.

It would be one thing if they were discussing healthy food choices though, Alec, it's another to simply choose a visible group, proclaim them to be "bad" and deny them basic human rights. You cannot determine overall health by body weight, nor should health be a requirement for keeping a job that does not otherwise require such fitness.
