You are making straw dogs Haydesigner. I don’t know Stephen Sedlock nor the case. As a Hindu, my point is simply that real Yoga is Hinduism. Are you afraid of the facts? What is idiotic, at best, is divorcing Hatha Yoga from Hinduism.

Ahhh @Swami Param… has Stephen Sedlock finally realized how completely idiotic he looks in this lawsuit, and has now hired people to write feeble (and blatantly untrue) defenses in the comment sections now?

Or are you actually Stephen Sedlock, too afraid to write under his own name?

The majority is not always right, Leon. “… public education is no bad thing.” So, why not do that? Get a dictionary; books on comparative religions; books on Hinduism; books on non-Hindu religions. With a simple bit of research, one will find where Yoga is (factually) and where it is not.

You got the point, Kit, “rename it.” Stretching and relaxation is one thing, Yoga is quite another. It takes little research (what schooling is suppose to be about) to uncover the facts that Yoga is the Hindu religion.

The overlooked problem is that (real) Yoga is not at all simply a physical exercise. Hatha Yoga (and the other forms of Hindu/Yoga) is all about the Hindu religion. It is very insulting to devoted Hindus to have their religion so perverted. Stretching is one thing; Hatha Yoga is quite another.

I’m rooting for the school district on this so that the matter can be decided through the normal democratic process. My sense is that the school board has the support of the voters, but in any event, innovation and experimentation in public education is no bad thing.

What on Earth is wrong with Californians these days? Fitness ruled when I lived there. You have allowed Prop 37 to fail and now your Grand kids will be sterile with shrunken testicles and ovaries due to GMO foods and on the other side you wont allow mobile food trucks to sell junk or gourmet food to weekend customers who probably eat well during work and school days. You have dropped music, art and PE from the class schedules and have allowed some Church to dictate how your kids get some form of exercise.Maybe you should not call it Yoga. RENAME it … perhaps it won’t fall under any religious practice if its called mental acuity training or therapeutic breathing techniques to develop muscle tone and promote longer attention spans . ( heaven forbid you take the kids off Addaral and Ritalin)
PLEASE wake up parents. Nobody should tell you how to improve your own children’s school performance, except you with the guidance of educational professionals.

I googled “The National Center for Law and Policy”. Turns out it’s an Escondido non-profit that fights for your rights as long as you are christian, white, pro-choice and straight. The irony of NCLP filing a lawsuit for religious indoctrination and separation of church and state is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Amazing.

I wish I had yoga when I was in grade school. It’s a fantastic form of low-intensity exercise, and is much more useful than playing dodgeball or whatever time-wasting rubbish I went through in PE class. Religious indoctrination? Please.
