"And if you don't work out, this is a great way to work on your posture, flexibility, balance and to strengthen your core," he said of yoga."It's the Hindu religion," said Joe Godfrey, executive director of a Christian advocacy group, Alabama Citizens Action Program."It's an issue of separation of church and state. You'll hear people invoke that when it comes to Christianity, because they don't want prayer in school.
Gray, the bill's sponsor, said he's banking on yoga's widespread appeal to help win over lawmakers across the aisle. "I really don't see what the big deal is," he said of yoga."I mean my wife does this, my mother does this on the floor of her Methodist church."

If they can’t pray why is yoga ok? New age beliefs shouldn’t be in schools either. Now kids meditate and do yoga in public schools?
This is not a Hindu nation
Can they pass a law that Alabama has to come into the 21st century
Rednecks 😂😂😂
Alabama banned yoga based on the idea that it is a philosophy of another religion. Sounds illegal as fuck to me.
Might?
Damn they are backwards AF in Alabama.
Alabamians years ago lynched Black people for being Black. Alabamians still lynch Black people today. evilpospeople NathanielWoods
Lets keep Alabama in the 18th century. The christian indoctrination must continue. We can not allow the kids to learn about different cultures and religions. It would be horrible if they liked it.
It literally is a religious practice.
They probably banned it because it looked so much like fat-shaming. 🕵🏻♀️

My daughters school had to put a wellness day on hold because of concerns over the spirituality of yoga. I live in New Jersey.
West could use some “Namaste” right now. It will help stoping the virus.
Typical Alabama! Another reason I’m happy I was only there a year before I became stupid too!
Less government in our lives is another republican lie. They want to control every aspect of it.

Consider the source.
Alabama showing it's true colors, again sigh
And you’re surprised
I know a Dominican friar who does yoga every day. I'm Catholic & I pray in a manner very close to and informed by Zen practice. People gotta have some confidence in God.
Of course, it's Alabama.
Please..seriously

Doesn't Biden's apparent dementia interest NBC 'news', lol, at all? How can a leading presidential candidate, who is obviously losing his mind, not be news? Now do you see why & so many others have EARNED the title of FakeNews? Its called 'Deception by Omission'.
I don’t think yoga is a religious practice first and foremost so this is wrong. Also, hopefully they banned praying.
JFCOMFG (intentional) 🤦♀️
Unbelievable. Not sure they could be more close minded
Honestly, fuck Alabama.
Ok, but you can marry your sister? WTF, StateOfAlabama_
