No yoga for young'uns
I thought the heated debate over whether or not to teach Darwin in public schools was stupid enough. Now it appears Yoga is under attack.
Yoga Causes Controversy in Public Schools: Some parents say it violates church and state (Associated Press).
"Christian fundamentalists and even some secular parents lobbied the school board. They argued that yoga's Hindu roots conflicted with Christian teachings and that using it in school might violate the separation of church and state."
Umm... where do I begin with the paradox in that statement?
"'It's pretty simple: Yoga is a religious practice in Hinduism. It's the way to reach enlightenment. To bring it to the west and bill it as a scientific practice for fitness is dishonest,' said Hunt, 80."
"'I've talked to too many people who got hooked on the spiritual deception of yoga. They come to believe in this and become enamored with Hinduism or eastern mysticism,' he said."
It's a conspiracy. Don't let the peace of mind, calmness, physical, emotional and mental well-being that you feel when you practice yoga fool you. It's all bad bad evil stuff designed to lure you away from christianity. Beware! Beware!
