The class itself is a good idea, but they should have everyone take it unless they either "place out" of it by passing a physical and written fitness test or get an exemption from a doctor saying they can't do it. To try to single out particular students for it is not only poor policy from a stigmatization perspective, but is also ineffective from an educational standpoint, especially when they use a metric as coarse as BMI. Having a low BMI hardly means that one is fit, healthy, or knowledgeable about any of those things.
