TM is practiced in public and private schools throughout the USA these days as part of the "Quiet Time" program of the David Lynch Foundation.
It is true that there is no way in the USA for TM to be funded by a public school system, but the DLF has introduced the Quiet TIme program to hundreds of US public and private schools, including 2 public charter schools in Tucson, AZ (that I have heard about). The program has been so carefully crafted that Americans United for Separation of Church and State have been unable to find a venue for a new lawsuit ala the Malnak v Yogi ruling of 32 years ago. In other countries, with less anal definitions of religion, TM is welcomed as a secular practice in all sorts of places, including schools. China has no qualms about TM being taught to its college students for example.
