According to this article, some parents are claiming that teaching Yoga in schools is a violation of the seperation of church and state. This is based upon the Hindu roots of yoga. I think this is a bit absurd. It is possible to teach yoga without spiritual and religious references. It does not need to be Hindu centered either. I have a friend that teaches a Christian Yoga class. Imagine that? I think some people have too much time on their hands, too few hobbies and little sense of belonging. They should go find a cause to fight for that would make the world a brighter and better place instead of limiting the learning of children.

My vote: Yoga stays, fundamentalists go.
