California wants to end school fitness tests over concerns about non-binary students

BPR:

California Governor Gavin Newsom wants to stop mandatory physical fitness tests for students in the state over fears they they could get bullied.

The Democrat governor is proposing suspending the current state law that requires California schools to give all fifth, seventh and ninth graders the test after some districts complained about discrimination.

Students may be free from push-ups, curl-ups and aerobic activity, as well as a measure of body mass index that are tracked in the physical exam, for the next three years if the proposal, buried in Newsom’s education budget bill for next year, is passed, Politico reported.

The state received complaints about the test alleging that students with disabilities and non-binary students were being discriminated against as the Body Mass Index screening in the exam requires students to select “male” or “female,” according to H.D. Palmer, a spokesperson for Newsom’s Department of Finance. read more

  1. In related news, Governor Noisome is creating a body mass index just for Mexican kids, who usually find themselves marginalized in the red upper corner. They will be “centered“, as AOC would say.

  2. This is almost funny. Almost. Two weeks ago local news was reporting California was going to lose some sort of Federal funding because our school kids couldn’t meet federal standards for being physically fit. And now it’s the .05% that are sexually confused fault. I have an idea. Take their Gxd Dxmn cell phones away from them.

    Oh, and no tree climbing with out a helmet.

    “SNS – The modern soyboys on the Left coast today probably think meaningful PE refers to penis envy!”

    …perhaps, but remember that we are talking about the gender confused here, so it may be a less-classical but no less true case of PUSSY envy.

    …these are strange times we’re living in, strange times indeed…

  4. So this bullshit artist is willing to risk the health of 99.95 percent of California’s youth to avoid some hurt feelings by 0.05% (and likely less when reality sets in) of the kids. Yep, a real great guy this Newsome is. When is the recall petition going to start?

    There’s been two. One went down in flames because libtard counties refused to submit the list of signatures. That’s gone to court. The second seems much better organized and you can find booths outside just about any grocery store on the week ends to sign it as well as any gun store.
