'After-School Satan Clubs' coming to an elementary school near you
American Thinker ^ | 15 Jan, 2022 | Eric Utter

Seriously, this happened...and you wouldn't want your school to get sued, would you?

An Illinois school district recently received some heat from parents for allowing flyers from the Satanic Temple to be placed in the lobby of Jane Addams Elementary School. The flyers invited students between the ages of 6 and 11 to attend an "after-school Satan Club" program being offered by The Satanic Temple.

Not to worry, however. Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder, says the Satan Club won't try to convert children to Satanism or force them to worship the devil. Greaves told WQAD: "This actually isn't a club that's meant to proselytize Satanism or even engage in discussions about religious opinion. This is an educational program meant to focus on critical thinking and just basic education skills."

What the hell, maybe they just liked the name "Satan Club."

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, the school district is defending the program offered by what it characterized as "a national religious and human rights group." The News-Democrat reported that parents were upset at the prospect of the meetings but noted that they would need to sign a permission slip to allow their children to attend, as they would for any other club. The district's Board of Education allows its facilities to be used for community use.

Dr. Rachel Savage, the superintendent for Moline-Coal Valley Schools, issued a statement explaining the decision to allow the after-school Satan club to proceed: "To illegally deny their organization to pay to rent our publicly-funded institution, after school hours, subjects the district to a discrimination lawsuit, which we will not win, likely taking thousands upon thousands of tax-payer dollars away from our teachers, staff and classrooms."

Freedom of religion doesn’t seem to be working as planned.

The lawsuit:

Defendant: Your honor, the plaintiff wishes to teach our children to worship Satan.

Judge: Baliff...

With teachers, it's always about the money.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Doesn’t this sound like a Democrat speaking about a pedophilia / LGB / CRT program?

I just forwarded this to my niece and nephew. My niece already home-schools her son (Abeka program). My nephew is sending his 11-year-old girl to a private Christian school this year, and the two younger ones soon after, I think.

What is GOING ON in America?!?

But, but, but, your child won’t be socialized properly to follow satan, take drugs and use alcohol, be sexually promiscuous, get bullied, beat up or raped, join a gang, celebrate or become LGBT, or learn history which is biased against the United States if you homeschool.

Don’t you want your child to be properly socialized? (NO!).

Satanism in full swing, with the wrong people at the helm of our foundational institutions. Proper response would have been to say no, then let the legal fight (if it were to come) begin. Get it into the public realm of discussion, and agendize it for a decision by the elected members of the school board. Perhaps in the end the school simply decides to not allow any extracurricular use of its facilities by any organization. A loss for the community, but not an insurmountable one, but an even greater one for the satanists, who are trying to gain legitimacy by operating out of a school.

So if you allow Scouts (yeah, all woke now) you have to allow Satanists.

Crips and Bloods and Latin Kings?

Just another in what is becoming a HUGE PILE OF REASONS to END THE DOE.

(For anyone truly upset by this turn of events, I’ll just say that it’s not gonna last long. One way or the other, it will be a very quick fad.)
