Trump reinstates school fitness test, citing health crisis, but critics warn of body shaming and outdated methods.

“This is a wonderful tradition, and we’re bringing it back,” Trump said of the fitness test that began in 1956. An executive order Trump signed Thursday says America’s declining health and physical fitness threatens the vitality and longevity of the country.

Boy, we truly are living in the era of reboots. This week, President Donald Trump announced the return of the Presidential Fitness Test, the program intended to promote physical activity in schoolchildren through twice-yearly exercise assessments like a one-mile run.
