#Gravitas | Parents in Japan are angry and are calling for an end to the practice of topless health tests in schools. Children are being asked to strip to the waist during routine school health exams, which involve both boys and girls as young as five and up to 18 years old. These exams have sparked widespread discomfort and, in some cases, trauma among students. The issue has come to attention now because the children have been too embarrassed to speak up about it.
