(bold emphasis mine)“They’re not just teaching physical poses, they’re teaching children how to think and how to make decisions,” Ms. Eady said.
No, their mentality has everything to do with this. They think nothing should be taught in schools except straight facts (and even then, only facts they personally approve). They think children shouldn't be exposed to anything. And that's a big part of their problem with the yoga class.But really they have nothing to do with this. This issue could just as easily have come from the ACLU imho.
I don't know where you got the idea I'm only talking about evangelicals. And if you don't know where I got the idea that people only want straight facts being taught, spend some time as a teacher and listen to parent complaints.Ok, dunno where you're getting the idea that evangelicals only want straight facts being taught.
To be fair (and giving way too much credit I'm sure) there's two meanings of that phrase.This part of the article irritated me. From the main parent complaining in the article:

Oh, fuck! Teaching children how to think and make decisions! Noooooooo!
I firmly believe this controversy has roots in the pathetic, stupid mentality people have that schools are just day-care centers designed to fill kids' heads with facts.
Idiots.

Evangelical = AntecedantA lot of responses I have heard from this article have focused on the evangelicals, and in particular that quote. But really they have nothing to do with this.
