As someone who ran track and cross country for 4 years in high school, this always fucking mystified me the most out of all the insane shit PE had us do.

Track and field club taught all new runners how to properly warm up, stretch, pace, etc. Its a process, and doing it properly takes 15-20 minutes to make sure your body is ready so you dont hurt yourself.

PE didnt do jack shit, they just said "go run a mile" so 70% of the fucking kids sprinted flat out the first lap and basically walked the other 3. Multiple people did it in boots or tennis shoes. I'm amazed more of them didnt pull a muscle or worse in the process.

I dont know what the purpose of PE was, but it sure as shit wasnt proper exercise. And I think a lot of people suffered for that. If they spent the time teaching us about the importance of physical health, proper nutrition, how to safely stretch/exercise, etc, we would all be better off now.

Let's be real, PE exists to shame and torture the fat kids, and for pretty much no other reason.

This is why I got my gym credit through 2+ years of marching band. It’s still awful but at least we do stretches and warm up properly.

They would weigh us in high school in front of the other kids and announce our weights and track them.

Betsy DeVos - “I will personally sacrifice 14,000 children for capitalism”

ninjaduckpirategoose

Remember when this all started and people were like, they just don’t care because it’s mostly old people. If children were dying, they’d do something.

Capitalism is amoral, insatiable and indiscriminate. Fourteen thousand children is no more moving to a psychopathic system than is one hundred thousand adults. There is literally no one that is too precious to be sacrificed to profit.

You know that feeling ... When you casually watch random episodes of one of your childhood cartoons ... And you get really emotional ... And this leads to a rewatch of the whole serie.

Cudjo Lewis, the last surviving captive of the last slave ship to bring Africans to the U.S.

It’s so significant too that this narrative was collected by Zora Neale Hurston, one of the greatest authors and anthropologists of her time. She was shunned by the “gatekeepers” of both of these professions, largely because of her Blackness, her womanhood, and her uncompromising commitment to honoring and showcasing both in her works. She died penniless and alone in a state-run institution in 1960. All of her works had gone out of publication by then. It took more than a decade before she was rediscovered. A young author by the name of Alice Walker had come across her work and was deeply inspired by it. “In 1973, after an exhaustive search, Walker came across Hurston’s unmarked grave in Ft. Pierce, Fla. She purchased a headstone for Hurston’s tomb and had it inscribed “A Genius of the South.“”

It is through Zora Neale Hurston’s pioneering sacrifice, and the acceptance of that inheritance by Alice Walker that we have found this missing piece of our history. Without the courageous and unfailing work of Black women, we wouldn’t have Cudjo Lewis’s story. We are slowly regaining a narrative that’s been hidden from us, one that continues to be lied about. Trust Black women to lead the way.
