Nothing new here. In the 1960s in government schools in Maryland they were weighing us in front of everyone and sending the report home. I was overweight as a child and it was embarrassing. They did more harm to me than good.

In the 70’s, I remember the scoliosis checks. They would show pictures of people with horribly misshapen spines, diagnosed as scoliosis, then make all of us girls (boys separately) take our shirts off and bend at the waste to be examined by the “expert”. Some got the dreaded diagnosis, for which there was no remedy. Humiliating. Upsetting.
