(Springfield, IL) — The former head of the Illinois National Guard says gym class is essential to national security. Former Illinois Adjutant General Bill Enyart yesterday told lawmakers they should keep the state’s gym class mandate because without it the state’s young people may not be ready to serve in an emergency. Enyart says there’s an obesity epidemic in Illinois, and gym class in high school is a way to fight it.
