They can make it real easy to get around that, make everyone take a PE class and part of the goal of the PE class is to reach a certain body fat %. Those above it have to continue for X months or until it is reached. The others pass. Problem solved, its not discrimination, its a new school requirement.
Some of them might, yes. It's discrimination because they're only making the "obese kids" take it. I thought of this the first time too, but I went back and read it again and if they were making every kid take it for the same amount of time as everyone else, then yes, it would be fine. But they're not.
