No "namaste" in Alabama

It’s been said that when you hear a British accent, you automatically add ten points to a person’s IQ, but when you hear an Alabama accent, you automatically deduct ten points.  

That really isn’t fair.  I have relatives in Tuscaloosa, and they are intelligent people who didn’t vote for Trump.

On the other hand, you may actually have to subtract more than ten points from Alabama legislators.  Until this month Alabama had restricted public schools from teaching any kind of yoga.  A bill has now been introduced by a Democrat that would allow local school boards to determine if they want to teach yoga poses and stretches.  However, the poses must have English names.  You can’t chant or use mantras.  You may not use the greeting “namaste.”  

I am not making this up.
