President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order Thursday afternoon that reinstates the Presidential Fitness Test for public schools nationwide.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the order is aligned with the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, spearheaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Created in 1966, the Presidential Fitness Test was replaced by the Presidential Youth Fitness Program in 2013 under the Obama administration.
