Equal Access Act of 1984 prevents schools from blocking school clubs based on the content of the club philosophy and religion Fun fact 1/2
It was passed by Conservative Christian congress to allow bible study in schools, it has since been used to allow Gay-Straight Alliances

We have "kids for Satan" to compete with boys and girls club. Plus the HQ of the temple is here.
RideTheStimutacs
Of *course* the Satan guy has a name like Lucien Greaves.
dirrrtypiratehookerrr
Great example of how its more impactful to fight fire w fire instead of simply talking reason or being neutral. Apathy is not a virtue.
Kazeroth
I support your great work, Satan!
Yupurineutah
Hail Satan!?
DenStortalendeMester
I want to be in the Satan club and who TF is letting Christian clubs exist at public school?
Haemaelaeinen
Why not? If kids don't have to join the club, what is wrong with having a Christian club? Or any religion? Very inclusive from you mate...
Holzter
As a resident of this part of NC, everyone is either a Christian or secretly non-religious
604kevin
We had a Christian club at our school. It's a good place for fellowship and to study the Bible.
bripi
He and TST are not wrong; you **cannot** have a christian-themed afterschool club without allowing the opposite to occur, on federal grounds
***LOVE***what he and the cohort are doing to fight the separation of "church" and state, IN THE GODDAMNED CONSTITUTION, but ppl forget.
FatPikachuIsBestPikachu
"Erode the constitutional separation of church and state" they say as they defend their Christian clubs.

SwaghettiYologneseWithMemeballs
I think that part was referring TO the Christian clubs.
coalminersknuckle
v They could argue that Satanism is just an offshoot of Christianity and hold the clubs in the same room.
FrederickHansArmstrong
This, I like this.
10thlettersauce
Lol I'm formerly from NC, they will really not like this. Hahaha I'd almost go back to watch this
RuricOrhlandis

They held a prayer rally outside earlier this week. I'm local
I'm from Rockingham county. Live in Boone now but my family is based in RoCo.
scottEkarate
I wish they'd come to my kid's school district. They have those clubs after school. They advertise in the halls with Christian imagery
7Rhymes
Reach out to them, see what you can do to bring Satanism to our children.
Ayecantread
This is perfect, a polite rebuttal to the bold faced disregard for the law christians continually flaunt.
enderthedefender
It's not polite. They name themselves after the embodiment of evil in a religion purely out of spiteful mockery.
persianwrangler
They are pointing out that christians are constantly blatantly breaking separation of church and state laws. Christians are evil.
ucandcantunc
Many Christains believe they are in a war, and they are. The rest of us better wale up to that fact.
q2grapple
The war against themselves? I hope they win
Ironferrox
It’s a war against science facts, reason intellectualism and the constitutions separation of church and state make no mistake evangelicals
Are waging a form of@spiritual warfare against the very constitution in order to indoctrinate children into the most closed mindset aspects
Of their religion, it is a holy war to them and those of us who believe in separation of church and state better wake up and wage war
gottakeepgoing
For a second here I thought this was an update on the Pennsylvania event but this is in NC. Pennsylvania needs to let the club happen still.
StarscreamAndHutch

pookieeatworld
It's always interesting to me how much hatred and violence is carried out in Jesus' name.
u2braindead
I feel like this is true of both Christian and Muslim (and maybe others?) institution for over a millennia
Have to use fear to add to the cult collective. Evidence based people wont join just because.

I would have joined this so much as a kid

NomadGray
I love that theyre doing what christians are supposed to... to spite the christians. And its working oh so well
Fuckimgurcunts
Satanic Temple you mean
wandergirl
As a Christian- they're being way better christians than a lot of folks I know.
SonOfChicken
Sounds like something a cultist would say.. /s ?
Sankrew
Sounds like something an ignoramus would say. The satanic temple has very few members (if any) who actually think Satan is real.
The vast majority of their platform is people who have become disenfranchised with Christianity, it's all doubting Christians and Athiests.
GreasyFartKnocker
Way to miss the sarcasm
Yeah but I don't mind. That guy wanted to say his position and I'm all for it

Temple! Church of Satan is something else entirely :)

Satanic temple: political activisits. Church of satan: people who read a book by some guy and often do shitty things about it.

Temple of satan or satanic temple?
briham86

smax410
Nah. Church of satan are religious bigots. The satanic temple is really a group of political activists advocating the establishment clause.
I know, it’s just the similarities of the names and the confusion always reminds me of that gag from Life of Brian.
