The Son of an FOB Offers to Save Us from Yoga

 



* Alabama has taxes on groceries.

* Alabama makes you pay more in vehicle taxes if you drive an environmentally friendly car.

* Alabama bans original Sudafed to protect meth addicts.

* Alabama's lieutenant governor won his office on the platform of not being a "baby killer."

* Alabama's governor just recently proved that she can pander to the low-IQ crowd with the best of them.

* Alabama, for 30 years, banned yoga in its public schools.

Yeah, about that last item...Tim James, an unannounced candidate for governor, wants to bring back that ban. No matter that any public school teacher who's overheard to say "Namaste" is subject to firing, we don't want any limber kids in our midst either. 

Many years ago, a local county school gym teacher decided to add music to calisthenics. The idea didn't last long; parents objected that this was akin to dancing in schools and must be nipped in the out-of-rhythm bud.

In 2021, we can be sure that, no matter how many of our citizens are dying each day from COVID or how many of our littlest ones can't get on any Medicaid programs, we at least have a champion to protect us from yoga.

Namaste, y'all!

  2. While we're at it, if Yoga, or Dance make it back into the schools, let's bring back Music. The kids would be healthier both physically AND mentally.
