Since 2006, students at Lincoln University near Philadelphia have been required to take a class called "Fitness for Life" to graduate. The catch: not all students have to take the class. If a student's Body Mass Index (BMI) is below 30, he or she is exempt. (A normal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9) But for students whose BMI is over 30, the class is mandatory. It meets 3 hours a week and involves physical activity as well as information on nutrition, stress, and sleep. University officials say they're being proactive and addressing the issue of obesity head-on. But some students say its discrimination based on weight. What do you think? Is it fair for this university to require students with high BMIs to take a fitness course? Post your comments here, and Heidi will read some of them in the Newsroom, from 9-11am ET.

From CNN writer Alycia Kaufmann: I’m incredibly excited about Thanksgiving. For the first time in years, my entire family (extended included) will be together. Only thing is – that drive. Imagine: my parents, my 6-foot-tall husband, and me – crammed inside my four-door compact for four hours; and next to us, thousands of others trying to escape New York City on Wednesday afternoon. It’s going to be an adventure. The AAA auto club estimates more than 38-million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home this holiday weekend. That’s 1.4% more people than last year. While air travel is expected to be down, drivers are predicted to make up the bulk of the increase. So if you’re like me, one of the 33.2 million people hitting the road, I promise to be on my best driving behavior, despite the chaos in the car. On behalf of Betty, TJ and the entire CNN Saturday/Sunday morning team, we hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving whether you’re staying home or traveling those 50+ miles. Posted: 04:42 AM ET
