&lt;p&gt;Amanda Holpuch reports in the &lt;em&gt;Guardian&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jan/10/christian-parents-sue-california-school-yoga"&gt;Evangelical Christian group helps sue California school over yoga classes&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A group of California parents are campaigning for the withdrawal of school yoga classes, believing the activity promotes Hinduism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an effort to promote student health, a school district in Encinitas incorporated the yoga classes into its wellness curriculum this week. But a vocal minority of parents, spurred on by an evangelical Christian group, are calling for the program to be dropped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The parents are backed by the National Center for Law &amp;amp; Policy, a Christian civil liberties organization that advocates for religious causes. The NCLP, a non-profit group, said it is considering suing the school because it claims yoga is inherently religious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
