[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullshit. I’ve been meditating for years and I am actively hostile to organized religion. OP is ignorant.[/quote]

You’ve been doing the wrong thing for years then. [/quote]

OP, have you realized yet that you have an extremely small minority view.  I'm not sure why this has gotten your panties in a twist, but you realize that you are the only one arguing this point.  I'm glad that you are passionate about something, but you might as well realize that virtually no one agrees with your arguments.  You can keep yelling at folks, but just realize that you are not changing people's minds.  If it makes you happy to continue to belabor the point, go ahead, but you won't get very much support, at least not here.  Maybe you'll find some people in your school system who agree with you, but I would be surprised if you find enough to even get this on the agenda at the local school board, let along actually make a big enough impact for a change.[/quote]

Why are you trying to belittle and discourage me?

(Assuming that I am in the minority) Aren’t the points of view of minorities to be respected? That’s why we have minority rights. [/quote]

I'm not trying to belittle you.  I'm trying to say that your perspective is not common and that most people disagree with you.  You can continue, but I was just trying to tell you that you aren't likely to sway many people to agree with you as people don't agree with your assertions that meditation is inherently religious.

Meditation is a practice that is used by many religions, but it itself is not religious.  That is the view of the majority and you aren't going to convince enough people to dissuade school systems from using this as a tool to help children, especially children who have been affected by a year of isolation from  peers and friends.  It's a useful tool that has helped a lot of children and it has it's place in schools.

As I said, you are welcome to your minority view and you are welcome to enforce that your children do not use meditation, but you aren't going to have much luck convincing school systems form using this to help other children.  [/quote]
