****** TM is being taught with public funds at the charter schools in Mich and MD (and it ain't cheap, $625/yr per student -- see http://geocities.com/bbrigante/updates.html#public ) -- but if somebody with legal standing were to file a lawsuit protesting the use of public funds for TM in these schools, it's very unlikely the TMO would prevail in court. The reason why nobody is making a fuss so far is that these are charter schools, where parents choose to send their kids, so nobody's kids have to be there unless they want them to.
