   She was being rhetorical with her question about mandatory weigh-ins, but more than one school district has done just that. It’s pretty scary that something a reasonable person thinks is so absurd as to be useful as a reductio ad absurdum is already in the g-schools.

   Once when I testifid before the education committee in my state, I used the logic that asking for a course syllabus from hsers was like asking for a breakfast menu from parents to make sure their kids were being properly fed. Parents that love their children, feed their children’s bodies and their minds. Today, I wouldn’t use the same line of thinking because I have read too many articles about schools wanting to institute breakfast because the kids aren’t eating at home or enough (maybe the morning is too long for the kids) at home.
