Bob Roth is a little shaky on the facts, unfortunately: "Fact: The course fee to learn Transcendental Meditation is about the same as the cost of a 3-unit course at most universities. However, the TM course is not just one semester but includes personal instruction from a qualified TM instructor as well as a lifetime of follow-up meditation instruction at thousands of meditation centers around the United States and the world. The Lynch Foundation is providing full scholarships to students at schools, colleges and universities throughout the country." ** All U.S.-resident students who need financial aid to attend school (and most schools do not charge $800+ per credit for classes) get it from huge state and federal loan and grant programs -- matching these comprehensive programs would require billions from the Lynch Foundation, and currently they have $410K in the bank, enough to fund 164 students, who are almost all inner-city kids at charter schools. ** Fact: Transcendental Meditation is not a religion. It is taught and practiced by people (and clergy) of all religions and to people with no religious beliefs. Well before scientists began to explore the effects of TM, a judge in New Jersey in 1979 concluded there were religious elements to the teaching of TM. However, as we all know, there is a long tradition in the American judicial system (see civil rights in the south), where decisions are overturned with new evidence. Transcendental Meditation is offered to students of all religions in scores of educational institutions throughout the United States." ** Keith Wallace published his doctoral dissertation on TM's physiological changes in 1970, so it's hard to see how Roth could possibly justify a statement like "Well before scientists began to explore the effects of TM." ------------------------ Yahoo!
