Fat people genuinely upset me; I've written about this before. But this week something has happened that is more outrageous than fat people going to a buffet - a student at The University of New Hampshire has been kicked out of his dorm (and is now living out of his car) for posting a flyer that was only slightly demeaning to fat people. This atrocious violation of the student's free speech rights was an overreaction for a harmless action. The flyer reads:
9 out of 10 freshman girls gain 10 – 15 pounds. But there is something you can do about it. If u live below the 6th floor takes the stairs….Not only will u feel better about yourself but you will also be saving us time and wont be sore on the eyes.
I can't believe this. FATTIES DESERVE TO BE RIDICULED. And this particular flyer isn't even offensive. Now the student is living out of his car and will be on disciplinary probation until May 2006. Even fat freshman girls can agree that nearly 2 years' probation for this "offense" is overkill.
Send a letter to the following address expressing your outrage:
President Ann Weaver Hart
Office of the President
University of New Hampshire
201 Thompson Hall
Durham, New Hampshire 03824
Let President Hart know that our right to make fun of fat people is protected by the Constitution.
