Conservative Christians in Alabama Canceled Yoga for Nearly 30 Years: Ban Finally Lifted in 2021—But Don't Say Namaste

Nearly four years ago, Alabama ended a nearly 30-year "moral panic" by lifting its ban on yoga in public schools—though with bizarre restrictions. While students can now practice yoga poses (parents' written permission required), they are still prohibited from chanting mantras, saying "namaste," using Sanskrit terms, or practicing meditation in 2025.

The 1993 ban was pushed by conservative Christian groups because—get ready for it—

that would promote Hinduism.

Despite yoga being more popular in America than in its birthplace of India, with most practitioners viewing it primarily as exercise rather than religion, and the fact that Hinduism is not evangelical and has no conversion process.

And for those arguing "religion doesn't belong in schools"—these are the same schools where, by law in 47 states, from age five, students are required—with varying exemptions for students or staff who wish to opt out—to participate in the daily ritual of standing, facing the flag, hands over hearts, to pledge allegiance to the flag and to the Republic, "one nation under God."

Apparently, nothing strikes fear into the heart of conservative Christians quite like stretching and deep breathing.

Vamos!

I’ve always just selected Phoenix, cause then it’ll give me a lightning invoice, but its behavior is very GeoIP-dependent. If you’re outside the US/in NY you might struggle (try a VPN).

Ugh. Yea…. They’re pretty bad. I have found that it mostly works though :/

Some of us just refuse to comply with socialistic income tax ...

There's this thing called the 3-5% cash discount.

Transact in cash. No receipts. Don't report. Leave no records.

Unfortunately the blockchain leaves a record. Encrypted or not, it's a record, so that doesn't work.

- the worst thing about matrix is that it's being developed by statist cucks

- the second worst thing is the terrible UX of every single app

- the third worst thing is that the main backend implementation is in python

Yea, to be clear BitPay sucks for a ton of reasons. But, it does let me pay for stuff with LN sometimes.

all my fear comes from thinking about how incompetent and unreliable everything has become

It's not an irrational fear, it a fear based on a reality

A society based on gambling means the odds are always stacked against us

If you do the opposite of everything the TV says it still controls you

No onlykey flatpak, so I need to keep at it anyway.

Interesting. Flatpack was annoying as hell in Ubuntu. I hated having apps spread across multiple package managers. Maybe worth a revisit in a different context. Still 2 package managers to update.

I haven't tried hibernate. Just going through getting all my apps to work.

The onlykey app has been a royal pain, doesn't give me a lot of optimism for my ham radios.

I tried declared addons in librewolf and it only installed 1 of them even though all of the links and names were manually confirmed to work.

sudo nano configuration. nix

sudo nixos-rebuild test

sudo git commit -a -m

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

All day.

I will get this distro to work.
