- -05-30-08 Debate Over Meditation in Schools (Newsweek.com)
"Much of the debate stems from the growing success of the David Lynch Foundation, which funds TM training in private and public schools, especially charter schools, with a focus on inner-city youth. Since 2005, a foundation begun by Hollywood filmmaker and long-time meditator David Lynch has provided some $5 million for TM research and voluntary in-school programs for more than 2,000 students, teachers and parents at 21 U.S. schools and universities, with substantially wider reach overseas. 'It's like going from zero to 60 in terms of pulling yourself away from stress. Intelligence goes up, creativity flowers and energy zooms forward," says Lynch, who says 'receptivity' to the idea is growing."
"Back in 1979, a federal appeals court ruled that a course called the Science of Creative Intelligence Transcendental Meditation could not be taught in public schools in New Jersey because it 'had a primary effect of advancing religion and religious concepts' and violated the First Amendment. 'If they want TM in private universities or schools, no problem,' says Lynn of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. 'But when they move into public schools they are crossing that same constitutional line that was crossed in 1979.' Francisco Negrón, general counsel for the National School Boards Association, says that while relaxation techniques around test taking might be OK and that a nonsectarian approach to meditation is plausible, 'the devil is in the details. The concern would be that here is a religious angle to it that amounts to indoctrination or proselytizing.' " 05-08
