A high school in the state of New York has won approval to offer students a voluntary yoga program — as long as it's not called yoga.
Some local parents complained last month that a yoga program would promote Hinduism and violate the doctrine separating church and state, so Massena High School officials say they will now refer to the practice as "relaxation."
"It is still yoga. If opponents feel a name change solves the dilemma, I'm all for that," Board of Education President Julie Reagan said Wednesday. "We are basically doing the same thing, we're just calling it something different."
The compromise was reached during a meeting between Superintendent Roger Clough and several parents. Clough said parents agreed to change the name of the in-class program to "Raider Relaxation" and set up an after-school club to give interested students a deeper understanding of yoga. The school's mascot is a raider.
