A petition for class action status by a former Chicago Public School student, Kaya Hudgins, who alleged that her school coerced her to participate in Transcendental Meditation (TM) and Hindu practices has been granted by a federal judge in a lawsuit against the Board of Education of the City of Chicago and the David Lynch Foundation. Attorneys at Mauck & Baker, representing Kaya Hudgins, received an order from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois awarding class certification to Hudgins and her peers.
The class action lawsuit alleges that while minor students were attending certain Chicago Public Schools that chose to participate in the David Lynch Foundation “Quiet Time” program, they were required to participate in Transcendental Meditation that incorporated Hindu religious rituals, which Hudgins claims on behalf of the class is an egregious violation of their constitutional rights.
The design, implementation, and conduct of a Chicago Public Schools program, dubbed Quiet Time, was handled by the David Lynch Foundation for World Peace, an organization promoting Transcendental Meditation. As alleged in Hudgins’ first amended complaint, the Foundation worked together with Chicago Public Schools and the University of Chicago to implement the program at Chicago Public School high schools.
Hudgins, by her own declaration, was made to take part in Quiet Time.

I guess the doctrine of “separation of church and state” would more honestly be termed “separation of Christianity and state.”
Indeed.
oh yeah,, put me on that jury ...
umm, nope,
put me on that damages award team !
The kindest thing that could happen to kids in Chicago would be the utter destruction of the entire CPS system.

Hudgins vs Hindus. Good for her. Hope the Hindus get deported.
Exactly, because the state doesn’t have any problem with accommodating islam.
“Additionally, I, like many of my classmates, signed a nondisclosure not to tell anyone, including our parents, about the program,” added Hudgins. “My classmates and I were particularly warned by a David Lynch Foundation representative not to tell our parents if our parents were ‘religious.’”
... and then reflect that it would never ever be even remotely possible that a "program" like this would be trying to hide proselytizing kids into Christianity, it becomes very hard at least for me to conclude anything other than that this "program," and all of the people who knowingly authorized it, are totally controlled by the devil.
It’s already become blindingly obvious that most of this world is firmly in the grip of Satan and are willingly being used by him.
Even meditation is recommended but not obligatory and is for inner peace, like yoga is for general health. Its most certainly not a ritual.
Transcendental Meditation is more a fad of the West than it is here in India. There are also many fake yoga "gurus" in the USA who cook up their own forms of exercise and then sell it to gullible people as yoga.
