Uproar as after-school Satan club forms at Tennessee elementary school

www.theguardian.com Uproar as after-school Satan club forms at Tennessee elementary school

Satanic clubs, whose members do not worship the devil, usually formed in response to presence of religious groups in schools

Community members in a Tennessee school district want to banish Satan from their children’s halls after the formation of a new club was announced.

The After School Satan Club (ASSC) wants to establish a branch in Chimneyrock elementary school in the Memphis-Shelby county schools (MSCS) district.

It’s so funny seeing Cristians protest against these clubs that they don’t understand, and the best part is they can’t do shit.

Sorry (not sorry), Christians - religious freedom means freedom to practice ALL religions. This is categorically a constitutional matter, and you do not have a legal recourse to halt this (nor should you).

- Which especially funny because it's part of the same religion, just the "other side"

Better than an after-school christian club ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Well, the reason for the after school Satan club was that they had a pre school Christian club.

  Yeah, and I'd wager it's better than an after-school christian club.

"Freedom of religion!

... As long as it's ours"

- Yes, it is indeed their religion they are protesting.

The whole idea behind it is pretty genius. Metaphorically speaking, the only people that think there's a supernatural devil behind this club is because they want to shove their belief in their Gods into schools. If one must exist in schools then so must the other.

LOL! Good luck with that. You invited me in. I'm not going anywhere. 😈

Totally read that as Santa and was confused why 1 they made a Santa club and 2 why people were so angry to ban it. Either way bunch of haters and need to be more tolerant like their Jesus was

- To be fair, in both cases the situation would have been the same: An after-school club with a fictional mascot taken from Christian mythology, protested BY Christians who are ironically the only ones to actually believe that said mascot exists IRL.

- I realised there was another article on the topic, a couple of hours I posted this one. Initially I thought of deleting it but since it was from another outlet, I didn't after all. I just upvoted the first one.
  
  Will be more careful next time.
