Culture ACLU hails first 'After-School Satan Club' meeting at Virginia elementary school 'a victory for free speech and religious liberty'

  • Students at a Virginia elementary school attended their first after school Satan Club meeting on Thursday.
  • The club is sponsored by The Satanic Temple.
  • The ACLU called it "a victory for free speech and religious liberty."
Students at a Virginia school held their first After-School Satan Club meeting on Thursday after being put on hold for months, the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia announced.

The meeting at B.M. Williams Primary School in Chesapeake, Virginia was held "despite efforts by some to shut down the club and prevent it from gaining equal access to school facilities," the ACLU said, describing it as "a victory for free speech and religious liberty."

The Virginia Pilot reported last fall that the idea of the club was requested by parents as a response to the Good News Club, another student club run by the Child Evangelism Fellowship. According to the Pilot, parents wanted the club, which is sponsored by The Satanic Temple, for their nontheistic children.

June Everett, the After-School Satan Club national campaign director previously told the Pilot that the club only operates in schools where parents request them and other religious groups are already operating.

The group said students in the club will do arts and crafts, puzzles, an science projects.

"We aren't sacrificing goats or praising the Dark Lord," Everett told the Pilot.

The ACLU said the club faced "unconstitutional challenges" over the past few months. While the Good News Club was able to meet immediately after school and did not face a "security fee," the ACLU said Chesapeake Public Schools initially requested The Satanic Temple pay a security fee over safety concerns from protestors. Additionally, the school system asked the group to meet at 6 p.m. and not immediately after school.

Those requests were withdrawn before Thursdays first meeting.

"Under the First Amendment, the government can't treat one religious group less favorably than another, and it can't give potential objectors or hecklers a 'veto' over unpopular speech by charging the speaker (here, the After-School Satan Club) a security fee," Matthew Callahan, senior staff attorney for the ACLU of Virginia said. "That the school district ultimately recognized this and is taking steps to correct these unlawful actions and policies is an enormous victory for free speech, religious liberty, and democracy."

Since we're going retro with this aughts shit, the satanists have never been more pWn3D than when moral orel, a show mocking fundies, did an episode on them:

On a sidenote its funny what we thought were obese people back then, those fat satanists are almost normal by today's standards.

I hate to defend TST, however, I'm going to. Technically, TST is considered a religious group and have religious based tax exemptions. Funny thing is, I believe they are classified as a branch of Christianity. If there is an after school program that is funded by the public school, I've got no problem with TST doing this. On the flipside, if this is an off premise club that is funded by donations, I don't give a fuck either way on either side.

It isn't all about the edgy shock, it is about subversion and rebellion against religious government hypocrisy. It is why they tried to do the satanic nativity scene on government land, as well as the baphomet statue in response to the 10 commandments statue on government premises. Freedom of religion is only freedom of religion if it is Christian.

So, what does the club actually do? I’d imagine most of the members of said club would actually just be Reddit tier euphoric atheists with a chip on their shoulder and not actual Satan worshippers. Would they discuss why they’re going vegan to show how much better they are than the evil Christian meat eaters?

Sure would like to see the "parents" who asked for this club. Something tells me they are just a bunch of crazy fuckwagons.

The correct way to fight back againt this is to troll back harder. Make a religion that believes anybody who changes their gender is a devil shapeshifter and that attention must be drawn to unmasking them. Apply to be a club everywhere and sue when they forbid it.

Or you could just leave them alone because it looks from here like they are perfectly capable of failure and misery on their own.

I have to admit Joe, I don't know if that's necessary, just look at them! That being said I defer to your judgment, sir.

That aposematic bowling ball in shorts and sneakers isn't going to do a damn thing other than tell the local KFC about his Satanic hunger. Those cankles are so red, inflamed and swollen I honestly wonder if he has gout.

It's pretty disappointing that almost all Satanists are atheists with an aesthetic.

Yeah, but just calling yourself a hopeless narcissist doesn't sound cool and edgy. Worst part is though, there is nothing shocking or interesting about either being an atheist or worshipping Satan. The fact that the band Ghost has such a massive normie pop metal following doing nothing but unironic hymns to Satan (the founder is a fuckyoudad actual real theistic Satanist, not an atheist) just tells you straight up no one cares and you aren't interesting for doing it. Try something else.

The ACLU is a bad joke at this point. It was something noble but now it is a malevolent force and has been for some time.

I have reviewed about half of their "100 attacks on troons" list and there are no attacks it is truly bleak.

I wish these retards realized I have a business to run and do not appreciate becoming a lay-lawyer and dumbshit capable of reading scientific studies because it does not make me money.

It is somewhat amusing to learn to deal with this shit but come on man.

Can everyone just be fucking honest???
