Wingnut Friday II: Hari Om, Y'All

A school program in British Columbia to fight childhood obesity that includes yoga is drawing complaints from some Christian parents, who 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.”

Okay, Chelsea. How about a regimen of Christian push-ups?
Here's Liberal Debutante's take.
