SAN DIEGO — In an elementary school classroom with an American flag draped over one wall, a couple dozen students rose to standing positions. Then they shifted into poses called “volcano part one,” ‘’silent gorilla,” and “rag doll.” Some students may not realize it, but the semiweekly, half-hour course might be gone by the time they return in the fall. In this upscale, seaside suburb just north of San Diego, parents have filed a lawsuit arguing the Encinitas Union School District should do away with the yoga elective because the discipline is inherently religious, and the teaching of it in the public schools violates the First Amendment. The trial resumes this week in San Diego Superior Court and a decision could come as early as Wednesday (June 26).
