Apologies if the vegan connection in the following story is about as tenuous and semi-sterotypical as the connection between veganism and, say, granola, but I thought this was worth noting: Christian parents in Western Canada are upset about a new anti-obesity program in some schools where children are being taught yoga, which, according to some, is a religion, possibly because in some poses you have to put your hands together in a prayer-like position. The chair of the local school board is stressing that the exercises are for the purpose of stretching, and are not considered a spiritual practice. Wow, I can’t imagine what parent-teacher night must be like. Link.
