why do you assume she is a Christian? How do you know she isn't a Buddhist? or an agnostic? When people find out about the seamy underbelly of the TMO they object to their kids being exposed to it on the basis of decency and common sense - what parent would deliberately want their children influenced by the likes of the leaders of the TMO and an organization that lionizes the likes of Russell Brand? -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 3/24/14, dhamiltony...@yahoo.com <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote:
Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Ejecting Quiet time meditation from our public schools To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, March 24, 2014, 3:30 AM I feel it is a bad thing when a few christian nuts could derail professional educators from employing meditation a quiet time in schools as part of educational design. It defies good science with their religious non-sense. -Buck Yep, it is true a quiet-time Gap in education evidently is opening even with developing nations in Central and South America too. This is not good at all for us North Americans. This bigoted ignorance of a few overly religious people against good public education puts us all once again in an extremely bad competitive position in the world economies. These anti-science religious nuts are being extremely dangerous to everyone in opposing quiet-time meditation in schools. -Buck Yes, I worry for a future Quiet-time-transcending-Meditation-Gap that America is going to suffer because of these idiot cultist christians if we as Americans cannot keep up with the Chinese, Japanese and others all around the Pacific rim who are adopting transcending meditation in to their economies for their students on good scientific grounds.-Buck awoelflebater writes: I have to sort of agree with you on this subject regarding this one mother who objected to TM because of the "danger" that it might be based in some sort of religion. She sounds narrow minded and fearful to me. I think a few minutes of TM quiet time for most schools would be beneficial. It might actually get these kids off their phones for a whole 20 minutes. I don't applaud this woman, I think there are millions out there exactly like her - unimaginative, unexposed to much beyond white bread American values and otherwise stuck in the mud. I'll go further to conjecture she's a middle class Republican. punditster writes: On 3/23/2014 1:31 AM, LEnglish5 wrote: There's a huge concerted effort (by the massive 26 members) to attemptto sabotage any and all QUiet Time Schools in San Francisco.
