Salas

Rep. Salas is not looking at what is best for the health of all children. Her bill would undermine the progress that has been made in the last five years to improve physical education and the health of our students. In the last 5 years legislation has been passed to improve physical education which is one thing that many expert organizations all agree is most important to fight the obesity epidemic and improve the health of our children. The American Heart Association, American Lung Association, American Cancer Association, American Diabetes Association, American Pediatrics Association, National Institute of Health and many other all agree that quality physical education is important. Salas is supported by the military organizations to have ROTC and other physical activities be exempted from the physical educaiton requiremet. This is shameful and she must be stopped for the health of our students.
