LS La Sierra High School. MS Sign reading "La Sierra High School." with students walking by. CU Stan Le Prontti, physical education director at La Sierra High School, gives his instruction to the students using a hand microphone. LS and MS Line of young men get on to a climbing frame and cross it on the "grips", holding on with their hands. LS Squad of boys doing extended press-ups. MS Boys crossing a metal frame, using their arms to support themselves. LS and MS Boys scaling a "pegboard". MS Line of boys raising upper torsos in floor exercise. LS Boys sliding across a wetted rubber sheet. Students go through 15 minutes hard exercise and many physical training stunts.

So it's basically American Ninja Warrior for 15 mins everyday.

Them boys were shredded. Not a single offensive lineman to be seen in that video.

If they tried that at high schools now they would need to have medics and lawyers standing by.

Would never fly today because it was competitive and boys were awarded different colored shorts based on performance. That might hurt somebody’s feelings today

I’m gonna say that those boys were “selectively” picked for that video and were not representative of the overall population.

If this video wasn’t narrated, but instead just played YMCA by the Village People, it would have a different message.

This was one of the good things Kennedy did and something modern society would never allow again. People my father's generation remember doing these programs in high school.

If 100,000 kids could benefit, the media today would blast out the one kid who claims the program is fascist fat shaming.

Just telling those kids to take their shirts off would bring about 50 lawsuits
