.RobertKennedyJr should consider reviving JFK's physical education program for America's children.
JFK introduced a school fitness program called the "La Sierra System," designed by a WWII veteran. It focused on building strength, flexibility, endurance, and leadership skills.
The program encouraged students to strengthen their minds and bodies. One key element was "ability grouping," where students were ranked based on their physical fitness.
In other words, it was a competition.
To be in the top group, students had to do at least 12 handstand push-ups and 14 pull-ups. Students pushed themselves to be the strongest and fastest.
We need to bring back that determination and resilience.
“This should be a matter of concern to us all. A country is only as strong as its citizens, and I think that mental and physical health, mental and physical vigor, go hand in hand.” -JFK

I like your support of PE and bringing it back; however, the food and jabs have to be cleaned up because it would be abusive if children are participating and trying and nothing changes if exercise cannot alter a body that has been poisoned. It has been some time since I looked at the research on obesity, but there was some support that biologically there was something else going on and it was not lack of exercise. My kid has always been active and early in sports I noticed there were kids that were very heavy, some would call obese, and yet they were definitely active and practicing and some of the harder workers yet they were still overweight and it was not for lack of education on how to eat.
