Speaking of crazy things in US PE classes, if you learned to Square Dance, it was because Henry Ford was a racist who was afraid of Jazz.

There’s usually a dance section included in PE instruction, mostly to break up hard physical activity snd allow kids to have fun. The type of dancing depends on the school and the state, we did salsa dancing in Florida.

You're younger than I am. For my generation, it was all square dancing.

Same. I lived in Minnesota and Indiana and did Square Dancing in both.
