I thought Thanksgiving was an apt time to discuss a Pennsylvania university's new requirement that overweight undergraduates take a fitness course to receive their degrees. An historically black college, Lincoln University said that the school is responding to deadly rates of obesity and diabetes, especially in the African-American community.
The World is Kind of Remarkable... ____________________ First They Came for the Smokers and I said Nothing... The War on Terr is a farce. The War on Drugs is a multi-billion dollar industry that has failed. The War on Cigarettes is still in its infancy. Now, the War on FAT is beginning to become real: Lincoln University, the nation’s first historically black college in Oxford, Pennsylvania, has...
* I am sure that we have all gotten our turkey and mac and cheese on by now.

DAHLINGS – Fat discrimination never ends, does it? Why is it news when a fat person dies, when millions more are dying of lung cancer ? It is because “Man Dies Of Lung Cancer In Recliner” doesn ’t make for a snappy headline? Your faithful correspondent was outraged to read today in the Huffington Post that Lincoln University has instituted a policy that not only do students...
Lincoln University students now have one more hurdle to pass before they graduate: losing weight. According to a recently instituted requirement, university students with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 will have to take a physical education class in order to receive their diploma.

Seriously?!? Seems the new "trend" in higher education is denying diplomas to fat students. At least that's what Lincoln University is doing. Students who matriculate with a BMI of 30 aren't allowed to graduate without losing weight or taking a semester in fat shaming 101. Oh, I'm sorry. "Fitness for Life". What am I supposed to say to this? Honestly, this is just scary. SO much...
This is nuts ... Lincoln University students will now have to endure a physical exam determining each student's BMI (body mass index) before they are permitted to graduate. An individual's BMI measures the amount of body fat. Amid fierce criticisms, Lincoln University has recently installed a new requirement for its undergraduate students. If your BMI is over 30, you are required to take a physical...

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) –For a movie about bureaucratic and political machinations in the art world, the documentary "The Art of the Steal" is far more enthralling than it has a right to be. This account of the complex battle for the treasures of the Barnes Foundation, located in a suburb of Philadelphia, becomes a thriller and a complex morality tale that should appeal to far more than just...
