I'd be interested to know in what context this was being, 'taught' in a classroom situation.
This is what it says in the link to the petition:-
[i:cbbea4d52f]Over the past three years, the International School of Monterey, California, a public charter school, has had two "doctors of medical qigong" from the International Institute of Medical Qigong (www.medicalqigong.org) instruct their student body in "medical" qigong exercises. This was done without parental consent or notification. These "doctors" are not licensed by the State of California. In fact, to become a doctor of medical qigong, one has to learn among other things how to project energy balls, how to treat Spirit or Demon Possession, how to use hand seals and incantations to paralyze spirit entities, Faith Projection and Incantations, and finally how to understand psychic and sorcery attacks. The basis for these beliefs is the belief in a universal life force called "chi." This was also taught to the children. [/i:cbbea4d52f]
-A bit like when a school gets a few 'fundies' running it, (like the local school I went to was convinced I was evil and worshipped the devil) sounds like the head teacher etc must've been into new age or had these 'doctors' as their mates.
It's quite sneaky and nasty if they've been doing it without parental consent though.
