Yoga classes have been banned at a Canadian university because of “cultural genocide… due to colonialism and western supremacy” after complaints from political correct students.

Jennifer Schaf had been providing free weekly yoga sessions for both disabled and able-bodied students at the University of Ottawa in Canada since 2008.

However, this September she received an e-mail from staff at the Centre for Students with Disabilities, informing her that her voluntary work was no longer welcome, the Ottawa Sun reports.

She was told that “Yoga has been under a lot of controversy lately” because the activity has been “taken” from other cultures.

The e-mail argued that such cultures “have experienced oppression, cultural genocide and diasporas due to colonialism and western supremacy”, therefore “we need to be mindful of this and how we express ourselves while practicing yoga”.

And it starts at the top.

Barry Glasner (who, apparently, has nothing in his underwear), has allowed the twits at Lewis & Clark (brave men who must be rolling in their graves) to manipulate him.

All is not lost, however. Enter Everett Piper from Oklahoma Wesleyan University, whose response to an offended student whining about a sermon () was priceless. Especially the end: ...This is not a daycare, it's a university! [insert Hallelujah Chorus audio]
