In an earlier post, Director David Lynch’s plan to fund the inclusion of transcendental meditation TM in the classroom was discussed.

Here’s an update.

Principal Carol Ramsay announced the start of a TM club as part of a new wellness program that would encourage students to eat balanced meals and exercise more. During the meeting, one attendee criticized TM as a cult, while others complained that the program would be linked to a religious movement.

As resistance grew, the David Lynch Foundation withdrew the $175,000 it had pledged to Terra Linda High School in San Rafael.
