Alabama fails to reverse ban on yoga as conservatives say they fear rise in Hinduism - p8712 - 04-02-2021
Namaste
Democratic representative Jeremy Gray of Opelika, who has been trying since 2019 to get the ban revoked, sponsored the bill. “This whole notion that if you do yoga, you’ll become Hindu — I’ve been doing yoga for 10 years and I go to church and I’m very much a Christian,” he said.]

Hooray for White Christo-supremacy. Racism has so many fancy masks these days.

What's wrong with Hinduism?
Does it perhaps lead to...dancing?

Heading back to our working EULA, the US Constitution:
"First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Some of our states are more backward than many third world countries.
Interesting how so many of them vote for the GOP.

This double-edged sword is wielded by both sides. Which are you taking?

Well nothing else needs fixing in Alabama so....
The ironic thing, well one of many, is that some Hindus don't like American-style yoga, they find it disrespectful of their own spiritual traditions. Maybe we should call this something else so everyone can relax?

"Stretching" or "isometric exercise" covers most of it for those just looking from the outside. Call the chants "marching cadences" and shout them like boot camp recruits and you're golden.
Not a yoga person at all, so I ask whether mantras and the like are part of a typical Americanized yoga class down at the YMCA?

I do not understand how this law, that is trying to be repealed, is legal in the first place. It is written to block the practice of Hinduism. What am I missing?
