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."

Although not generally a spectator of the macabre, I will readily bring popcorn to the scene once decent society has had enough and finally freaks out against these satanic, pedo homo and marijuana sucking filth to the stake & torch for proper disposal.
"In 1619 America began when slaves..."
Totally predictable in a biblically illiterate society.
9marks.org is a good place to find a church to become biblically LITERATE.
Why should they? The Public don’t give a damn. All they [the Public] do is vote for new taxes to fund them each time they [school boards] ask. After the Public votes the new tax into law, as far as the school board is concerned, the Public can go to Hell. So why should the school board fix their problems? The Public does not require them to.
The established church of the ruling class, without the usual “mainline” Protestant false face.
Boys and girls, today our special speaker will be none other than Santa Claus!
