Public school is no place for yoga.
Instructions include "be one with god",
during breathing exercises your told to
"tune in and be aware of your sexuality".
The philosophy/'spirituality' of yoga is not
appropriate in neutral secular settings.

I believe that would be criminal, another lawsuit
. . .guess yoga does not have a calming effect after all.
What ever happened to each their own ?
Personally I wouldn't teach my kids Hindi meditation,
but that is my prerogative and other people need to respect that.

The PRA is a natural extension of the Religious Right's long-standing campaign against public schools. Over the years, various elements of the movement have worked to censor books from school classrooms, to inject sectarian activity into the schools, to divert taxpayers' dollars from public education to private, sectarian schools and more. PRA, its pro-parent patina notwithstanding, would advance the Religious Right's platform across the board.
Indeed, parental rights legislation is the fourth plank of the Christian Coalition's 1995 Contract with the American Family.7 Led by televangelist Pat Robertson and political strategist Ralph Reed, the Christian Coalition is well known for its opposition to public education, hostility towards gays and lesbians, and intolerance of people whose views and families do not conform to its narrowly-defined vision of what is acceptable in American society. The Contract also advocates a return to state-sponsored prayer in public schools, a constitutional ban on all abortions, the elimination of the Department of Education and the creation of a school voucher system.8

No one should have to inure name calling or being slapped.
So much for freedom-of-choice.

If you don't have any problem with your children touching their toes, or stretching their arms above their heads, or doing push-ups, then you shouldn't have any problem with a few yoga exercises, because it's the same thing/

It is NOT the same thing ! Stop the disinformation.
# 2 Was I ever pushy telling you what is best for your kids ? lol
Who are you to tell me what is best for mine , stick your nose
in your own business, and I'll run my business my way.
Tai Chi has no religious affiliation, and in my opinion
would be better suited for public schools. yoga is NOT.
Purpose
Generally put, yoga is a disciplined method utilized for attaining a goal.[10] The ultimate goal of Yoga is moksha though the exact definition of what form this takes depends on the philosophical or theological system with which it is conjugated.
