Brickbat: Achieve Inner Peace on Your Own Time

The Chicago Board of Education and the David Lynch Foundation have agreed to pay $75,000 each to settle a lawsuit brought by Mariyah Green, a student at Bogan Computer Technical High School, who claims she was forced to participate in religious rituals that violated her Christian beliefs. The high school is one of several schools in the district to introduce Quiet Time, a program by the Lynch Foundation that includes Transcendental Meditation, which Green's lawyers said includes thinly described Hindu rituals. In a statement, the Lynch Foundation denied Transcendental Meditation is a religion. Green said she was told that refusing to take part in Quiet Time could affect her grades as well as her ability to take part in extracurricular activities and her class graduation ceremony.

When I was in school they frowned on you taking a nap during class.
Peace of mind is achieved through the resolution of conflict, not sleeping.
Let us now Honor and Obey Rob Misek, who will Lead us all to the resolution of conflict by Adolf-adoring and Hitler-humping!
15000 Palestinian civilians including 10000 women and children have been slaughtered by Jews in Gaza. Theyâve specifically targeted vulnerable civilians in refugee camps, hospitals, schools and their homes. The destruction there is total. When there is a ceasefire the world will get its first glimpse of what Jews have done with our aid.
This is the work of the Israeli government for Jews.
Our veterans didnât die so we could be a party to this. Our support of these Israeli terrorists spits in the faces of our fallen soldiers.
You may want to be a party to this Jewish apartheid, genocide and crimes against humanity in Palestine but I donât and will always oppose it. Itâs long overdue that we stand up to and stop these terrorist Jews. We will be judged for all history by our actions or inaction.
Here is proof of the plans
they are currently implementing for all the world to recognize. Their final solution for Palestinians. Itâs not a plan to rescue hostages. Itâs a plan to kill and forcibly displace an entire population of people that Jews have been oppressing for 75 years.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy_paper:_Options_for_a_policy_regarding_Gaza%27s_civilian_population
Jews have been fantasizing about and claiming to be victims of holocausts for over 100 years. Accusing others of committing genocide and crimes against humanity against them. Only in their case to falsely raise money and sympathy to steal Palestine and oppress and terrorize Palestinians. Now theyâre realizing their dream and true nature in Gaza.
They have threatened to use nukes they arenât supposed to have and are demonstrating that they are the worst group of people on earth.
Who could ever again be coerced by the term antisemitism? Jews have earned that recognition with their genocide and crimes against humanity in gaza. Itâs recorded for all time never to be obfuscated or forgotten.
Fuck you piece of shit lying waste of skin terrorist Jews.
So HOW does Adolf-adoring and Hitler-humping help, here, specifically?
You just donât get it.
Hitler has nothing to do with it.
Don't forget his channeling of Barack.
"We will be judged for all history"
lol.
Fuckwit canât even quote.
OK. A) Profanity isn't necessary. You can always make your point without it. B) Barry Zero was the undisputed (Marxist) king of moralizing against the judgment of future generations. Everything horrible thing he said and did was "justified" because future people would "know better and approve." And anyone who argued against it would be wrong, because future people would object.
It's a sleazy little shortcut to ethics that requires zero thought. And it's what you're doing.
Try objectivity.
Fuckwit canât even quote.
Weâre already being judged because we know genocide and crimes against humanity are wrong.
Hahaha
By who?
Given the weapons they have, and the time they've had, the Jews are doing a really shit job of genociding Palestinians. Shouldn't that make you happy?
The stupid Jews underestimated the true grit of the Palestinians.
So the jews have the ability to secretly control the planet, yet are incapable of correctly committing genocide? Perhaps the correct answer is the jew were never committing genocide
Youâd have to be wilfully ignorant to come to that conclusion, considering genocide is both what theyâve planned and been doing.

You'll never be happy, because there will always be people better than you, who earn better things than you. You will always hate those people because you earn nothing yourself.
What makes you believe that to be true?
Happiness is the knowledge that oneâs life is in order.
I recognize and am sharing the truth that nobody can refute. As far as my communication here goes, everything is in order.
I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website... http://www.Payathome9.com
Brickbat: Achieve Inner Peace on Your Own Time
You know who else wanted to "resolve conflict" and achieve "Peace In Our Time," not to mention borrowed the name "Aryan" and the Swastika from Hindu culture?
Fuck Off, Nazi! That's my mantra that leads me to "Inner Piece!"
đ
âInner Peaceâ too, though the thought of Nazis coming to my door makes me want to grab my âInner Pieceâ as well.
Fuck Off Again, Nazi!
You just donât get it.
Nazis have nothing to do with it.
Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Fatah, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Ba'athists, the Nasserists, and everybody in the Middle East who seeks to destroy Israel are all admirers of Adolf Hitler and Nazism. So, yeah, it has everything to do with it!
Fuck Off, Ignorant Nazi!
The only thing those groups have in common is recognizing what evil Jews have done to steal Palestine.
Now the rest of the world recognizes israeli apartheid, genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Thatâs a lot of Nazis. Hahaha
And you love every one of these Jew-Hating Totalitarian monsters!
You know truth is truth even if no one believes it and untruth, lies, and delusion are all false even if everyone believes them, right?
Fuck Off, Nazi!
I am telling you classroom nap taking is very ordinary response to soporific qualities of Vivek Swami.
Do this clinger and her lawyer similarly object to the original of the assholes who put childish superstition into the Pledge of Allegiance?
Hey, shit-clinger, you do realize that promoting this is promotion of a religion by the state, don't you, dipshit?
Like this?
You really are stupid and uninformed. That was a President.
What a moron you are , makes me laugh đ
...what?
Hey, Rev. Artie! There is in this very Comment section an adherent and an apologist for a movement that forced âPositive Christianityâ on children via compulsory Gummint Skoolz in Germany and in every other nation they conquered. Yet you never dare to raise your voice against Herr Misek!
Whatâs the matter, Rev. Artie? Do you soil your flourishing cape at the thought of confronting a Goddamn live Nazi?
Carry on. Klinger, as Rev. Martin Niemoller did and said nothingâŠuntil your âbetterâ Aryan Pure Supermen put you in a Dachau!
Fuck off, Quisling!
Green said she was told that refusing to take part in Quiet Time could affect her grades...
The spiritualisms will continue until enlightenment improves.
Plaintiff Green had twin critiques where both the Chicago BoE and the David Lynch Foundation provided compensation. It is unknown if the payments were wrapped in plastic.
Uh...I don't get it.
Twin Peaks reference.
"She's dead! She's wrapped in plastic and she's dead!"
Needs more Juice of Sapho.
It is my will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the Juice Of Saphoo my thoughts aquire speed my lips aquire stains the stains become a warning.
It is my will alone I set my mind in motion.
Was there any "damn good pie" involved in the compensation?

David Lynch?
Yep nothing says inner peace like mullholland Dr and eraserhead
As someone who's had biofeedback training and knows the benefits of being able to relax, I personally applaud the addition of training in meditation, but frankly you don't know if you're doing it right without some feedback. And while it may be a religious practice for Hindus, I don't see it as a religious practice (eating and fasting is a religious practice as well but that doesn't make you religious). I've even offered to pay for biofeedback training for some of relatives and close friends, and recommend it for everyone.
But this situation is simply a problem of government schools, allowing a student to sue the school (i.e., taxpayers) and the David Lynch foundation that apparently assisted in getting it in the government school. Get rid of the government schooling monopoly and this will no longer be a problem, because no government force will be used against people to act in what they say is against their religious beliefs, or Muslims suing because they can't pray towards Mecca at their designated prayer times.
Frankly, being forced to pay for government schools is an offense against our freedom. What should be separated (besides Church and State) is School and State, for basically the same reasons.
