}}</ref> This may have contributed to his being appointed as chairman of the new AAP task force on circumcision.

In 1987, Schoen was appointed head of the Task Force on Circumcision by the American Academy of Pediatrics,<ref>''American Journal of Diseases in Children'', Vol 141: 128. February 1987</ref> where he pushed for routine, non-therapeutic 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="Slack">{{REFjournal

Schoen was the chair of the 1989 AAP taskforce on circumcision, which studied available data to consider recommendeding circumcision to parents. The taskforce concluded that "Newborn circumcision has potential medical benefits and advantages as well as disadvantages and risks".<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> This was despite their own admission that evidence linking circumcision to prevention of any diseases was inconclusive, with the sole exception of penile cancer (which they noted was mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyles). Given Schoen's history of circumcision advocacy and his position as taskforce chair, he may have influenced the committee significantly.

The 1989 AAP circumcision statement was not well received. Professor Ronald Poland, M. D., another member of the AAP task force rejected Schoen's advocacy of non-therapeutic circumcision and published his own paper in which he argued against circumcision.<ref>{{REFjournal

In 1999, the AAP revised their circumcision policy statement. Their newer statement was more conservative about circumcision's potential benefits, saying that they did not outweigh the procedure's own risks, and recommended leaving the decision to parents based on their cultural traditions, in addition to the medical factors.<ref>{{REFweb

Schoen appeared in Penn & Teller's show, "Bullshit" for their [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0672524/ circumcision episode]. Penn reported that Schoen said circumcised penises smell and look better.<ref>{{REFweb
