Im being discriminaed aginst for my weight and gender, and will be cut from the team next year if I don't comply with the health policy of maintaining a bmi of at least 17. The thing I think is illegal is that they are making the girls > 17 bmi go to counseling this summer but not the boys, and this is blatant gender discrimination and sholdn't be allowed.
I would guess that most schools would make everyone have a BMI of at least 17. Chances are all the boys on your team are at a healthy BMI > 17 and if any had less than that they would be cut as well.
I'm guessing you meant to use the less than sign. Suing your school would be a waste of time and money. Just eat a couple of cheeseburgers every now and then.

There are some guys that look skinnier than I am, they just have broader shoulders. I don't see how they could be over 17 bmi.
I feel like this is a troll, but...
17 is really thin. If you are 5'11" you would have to weigh less than 120 lbs. to be a less than 17 bmi.
Instead of suing the school keep running and hit the weight room. The collegiate males I ran with mostly had bmi's between 18 and 21. Admittedly, the sub 30 10k group was closer to 18 than 21, but still no reason to be less than 17.
Galen Rupp is approx. a bmi of 18, coming in at 134 lbs. and 5'11"...if those stats are true.
Also, your post implied multiple girls would need counseling as a result of a less than 17 bmi. I feel like you would be hard pressed to find a single HS program in the US with multiple girls competing, while maintaining a 17 bmi.
WRONG!!!
Case in Point is the guy on this here website that seen with his own eyes his buddy get a BMI test that resulted in a BMI of less than 2%.
He seen it, though. True Story.
This is obviously a troll post. In true LRC fashion...

Yes, you can sue them.
Pretty much anybody can sue for anything (there are limits, but very far out).
Winning a suit is an entirely different question.
