Some parents reportedly asked for the program in response to the board green-lighting a Bible study group during school hours.

YORK COUNTY, Pa. - A proposed “Satan club” at a Pennsylvania school was voted down Tuesday.

A school board in York voted eight to one against approving the after-school program designed for children as young as 5. The Satanic Temple’s co-founder said it doesn’t support worshiping Satan or any religion but, rather, teaches rational and scientific ways of thinking. Members from the Satanic Temple said the debate is far from over and said they’re considering legal action.

The Satanic Temple’s co-founder says the school board does not have the authority to decide which religious organizations can hold after-school clubs.

No religion should be allowed to utilize any school property. Keep church and state separate.

Set's a terrible precedent for them to shut down Bible clubs too. Gotta either allow freedom of religion or not.

What club?

What exactly is discussed in “satan” club? Bible study I can see has benefits to a “young believer”. Too many focus on the events leading up to the life of Jesus (Old Testament) and forget how all that is still happening now, today! 🙏

Religion has no place in a tax payer funded educational system. Many tax dollars for education come from Federal Taxes, I would not want to be Dumbing Down some kid in PA so Nilists can tell them the world is burning and God hates everybody .. or whatever their thing is.

If you allow one religion, you allow all religions. The Satanic Temple is simply a mirror for religious people to look into.
