Because Canada? Has Wingnuts Too
Some parents in BC don't want their kids learning yoga in school because they think that yoga's a religion, and there's no place for religion in public education:
A school program to fight childhood obesity that includes yoga is drawing complaints from some Christian parents in the Quesnel area in B.C.'s Cariboo region.
They say yoga is a religion, and shouldn't be taught in public schools.
Chelsea Brears, who has two children in the school system, said her son was asked to do different poses and "to put his hands together."
Brears, a Christian, said she doesn't want her children exposed to another religion during class time.
"It's not fair to take prayer out, and yet they're allowing yoga, which is religion, in our schools."
Local rancher Audrey Cummings doesn't believe Christian children should be doing yoga at all.
"There's God and there's the devil, and the devil's not a gentleman. If you give him any kind of an opening, he will take that."
OMG! Her son was asked to do poses! To stand or sit in a certain way. Like cross-legged? I'm pretty sure kids have been asked to sit cross-legged in class for ever. And putting your hands together! That's a sure sign of pagan religions! They do it in that pagan ritual "If You're Happy And You Know It!"
And if this, this posing, and putting hands together continues, Satan will surely find an entrance into people's souls and they may start meditating, and standing in more poses, and practising good posture, and maybe cultivating their serenity!
The devil loves a serene soul, I'm told.
I'm just so distressed that these women have procreated and passed their stupid into a new generation.
