The benefits of yoga are abundant and for that matter, it’s famous and most sought after across the world. American schools also swear by the implementation of yoga and its effects on the kids. Turns out, one of the schools is having a problem.
The administration team at Bullard Elementary School in Kennesaw, Georgia, introduced yoga in their school curriculum. Hoping for a positive response, they faced backlash instead.
Turns out, parents were unsatiated with this rule and opted for banning ‘Yoga’.
Reason?
Because they believed that yoga is a downright encroachment of their non-Christian beliefs and if their children followed it, it would result in a catastrophic result: children turning into non-Christian.
After facing this scene, the principal of the school, Patrice Moore, sent out a full-fledged email to the parents.
In fact, she apologized. This is what she wrote:
And this led to the ban of Sanskrit greeting ‘Namaste’ symbol in the school.
The principal made sure that its teachings will not be repeated in the school.
Here is what the parents have to say.
How is Yoga related to promulgating non-Christianity? Wasn’t it meant for relieving stress?
God bless the people!
