Another example of TOTBAL*

*There Ought To Be A Law

or

if you prefer, just another example of the instincts of some elected legislators to State Nannism

HONOLULU -- A state lawmaker has suggested Hawaii's public schoolteachers be forced to weigh in as part of the fight against obesity in students.

A resolution in the state house would create an obesity database among teachers. The idea isn't being well received by the teachers union. ...

The resolution calls for all public schoolteachers to weigh in every six months.

So, when Mrs. Parker, algebra teacher, age 55, weighs in 10 pounds over her "ideal" weight ... what? Fine? Suspension?

Yeah...that'll really attract people to the teaching profession. Eat a Snickers, get a pink slip.
