Only In Alabama Would Yoga Be Banned From Public Schools

That is a true statement.  In 1993 the Alabama state legislature passed a bill that not only banned the teaching of yoga in public schools but meditation as well.  But feeling that wasn't going far enough they also made it illegal to say namaste.   Of course the reason given for this ban on these offense practices was that they just weren't christian. Yes, yoga is associated with Hinduism that doesn't mean that those teaching it are surreptitiously trying to convert your children.  Unlike conservative christian,s who like nothing more than shove their religion right down your metaphorical throat. 

Alabama could takes steps to lift a decades-old ban on yoga in public schools this week, but would keep a ban on the greeting “namaste” in place.

A bill brought by Representative Jeremy Gray, a Democratic legislator from Opelika, is on the proposed debate agenda Tuesday in the Alabama House of Representatives. If the bill passes with a two-thirds majority, it will then go to the Senate for further debate.

When Moron's Are Put In Charge

If your appointed as a government minister there's an assumption that you might have some working knowledge  of what your ministry does.  Motoo Hayashi whose ministry deals with regulating nuclear power plants in Japan admitted he didn't know a damn thing about the issue.

Then there is Shigeru Ishiba Minister of Local Economic Revitalization who managed to introduce legislation that had been passed a year earlier.

Why are these two clowns in charge of anything.  How hard is it to figure out your about to read the wrong bill to the Diet or have some limited understanding of what your ministry actually does?

      

It was an embarrassing day at the Diet on March 15 for a pair of government ministers, with minister for local economic revitalization Shigeru Ishiba reading out a year-old (and already passed) revisions bill, and Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Motoo Hayashi admitting a knowledge shortfall on nuclear power during Diet meetings.
Ishiba made his slipup at a House of Representatives special committee meeting, where he was supposed to read out a regional revitalization law revision bill, but instead read out revisions that had been passed last year. The content of the two documents is furthermore very different, with the present revisions bill concerned mainly with the creation of new subsidy types for local bodies' revitalization efforts.
