[QUOTE="SepiaAndDust, post: 69425069, member: 307404"] So what? These are college campuses, which means that adults intentionally signed up to take the class. Colleges can teach all the mystical woo they want, as long as it's not mandatory. ETA: Ah, I see now. The kerfuffle is described in the [url=http://www.christianforums.com/threads/ga-parents-offended-by-the-far-east-religion-of-yoga-get-namaste-banned-from-school.7938766/]GA parents, offended by the 'Far East religion' of yoga, get 'Namaste' banned from school[/url] thread. It is, indeed, an elementary school. As such, nothing spiritual ought to be taught there. Still, most of the complaints seem to be about breathing exercises and saying [i]Namaste[/i] with the little hand gesture. The history of the Yogis doesn't affect the exercises in any way, and it shouldn't be brought up at all, either pro or con. The breathing exercises are perfectly valid in physical education classes. Using crystals is just stupid. [/QUOTE]
