In 1987, Schoen was appointed head of the Task Force on Circumcision by the [[American Association Academy of Pediatrics]],<ref>American Journal of Diseases in Children, Vol 141: page 128. February 1987</ref> where he pushed for [[Routine Infant Circumcision| routine infant circumcision]], but the neonatologists on Schoen's committee wouldn't go for it. According to Schoen, not performing [[circumcision ]] would be "taking us back to nineteenth-century medicine on the eve of the 21st century," and that circumcision will prevent "dermatological problems".<ref name="CaseForCirc"/>
