Debating Yoga and Mindfulness in Public Schools

Mehr zum Buch

The book critically examines the integration of yoga and mindfulness in public schools, questioning whether these practices, rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism, can be considered secular. Candy Gunther Brown, an expert witness in legal challenges, analyzes unpublished trial records, interviews, and insider documents to uncover the motivations behind these programs, including the influence of "Vedic victory" and "stealth Buddhism." Through these legal cases, she explores the complex interplay between religion and secularism in education.
