Which of the following is NOT a social issue in physical education?

• A. Including all students in the least restrictive environment
• B. Development of pre-kindergarten programs in schools
• C. Legal liability held within the physical educator's position to keep students void of injury
• D. Advocating for quality physical education programs

Answer: (B)

In physical education, social issues center on inclusion, safety, access, and advocacy for quality programs for all students. Including all students in the least restrictive environment is about ensuring equal access and participation, which is a key social issue in PE. The responsibility to keep students safe and minimize risk reflects how PE programs address safety, liability, and a supportive environment—another important social concern. Advocating for quality physical education programs speaks to policy, standards, and equity to ensure meaningful PE for everyone.

The option about developing pre-kindergarten programs in schools doesn’t fit these PE-focused social concerns. It’s more about early childhood education and program development than about social issues specifically within physical education for K–12 students. Therefore, it’s the choice that isn’t a social issue in physical education.
