Montgomery Advertiser The Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday deadlocked on legislation from Rep. Jeremy Gray, a Democrat , that would lift the prohibition after testimony from Christian conservatives, who claimed it would lead to proselytizing in public schools by followers of Hinduism. "Yoga is a very big part of practicing Hindu religion," said Becky Gerritson, a longtime conservative activist. "If this bill passes, then instructors will be able to come into classrooms as young as kindergarten and bring these children through guided imagery, which is a spiritual exercise, and it's outside their parents view, and we just believe that this is not appropriate."
