College's too-fat-to-graduate rule under fire


This weeks article is about how people cannot graduate because they are too fat. In Lincoln University there is a new rule that tells that students with a body mass of 30 or above cannot graduate until they complete a fitness course. Students who have to do the course think it is unfair and that they did not want to get to that school for people to tell them they are fat. In defense teachers say that they are just being honest and they are trying to help the students to be healthier. Other students think it is fair and a good idea but not all. This is a big change for the school.
The bias are that a student named Tiana Lawson thinks that it is unfair because she does not want to be called fat in a place she is paying to be in and we also think it is a little bit unfair.
Our opinion is that in some way it is unfair for the fat people because the school is taking away their opportunnities to graduate because something they are. But in the other hand it is fair because if they graduate fat they won't receive a job. We hope that this problem can be solved.
