Completely objectively viewed, this is the best article you've ever written. 🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂

I highlighted your assumption and question it. We've learned that the American public school system was designed to create good factory worker bees for the oligarchs. Private schools are something else of course.

It is then not out of the question that public school P.E. classes would be designed to prepare young men for military service: strict hierarchy, picking teams, clear winners and losers, and lots of eye-hand coordination drills. I know that when I was in public school in the 70s and 80s that PE classes were massively slanted towards boys sports. Yes, Title IX brought some parity for after school sports, but for younger kids the PE activities were nearly always physical activities that we boys dominated at.

The key is that "Physical Education" does NOT equal "organized sports," but in practice it almost always did (and probably still does).

I've known so many people (most all guys) who have had horrendous injuries that could have been avoided by having actual "physical education" about stretching, kinesiology, etc. Schools know those statistics, too.

Did they change their PE curriculums over the decades to teach yoga, pilates, etc.? Or did they just continue to "weed out the weaklings" through shoulder, knee and ankle injuries year after year?
