I paused over this today....President Trump is signing an executive order to bring the Presidential Fitness Test back to public schools.
This started actually in 1956, and probably carried on 'strong' through the late 1960s. By the time I got to the 9th grade (mid-70s)....it was ancient history, and almost forgotten.
Someone in my military unit in the early1990s....got me hooked up to the 'test', and I made this a yearly goal (for four years).
I pondered this....will the news media and Democrats come out against the 'test'? Will schools say 'no'? Yeah, I'm guessing they would be goofy enough to say that.
A big deal? Not really, but for ten minutes....it's hyped by CNN.
