Social Launch of ‘After School Satan Club’ draws protest in Tennessee

[panem-et-circenses]

"MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The launch of the “After School Satan Club” at Chimneyrock Elementary in Cordova drew dozens to protest Wednesday.

After the club’s launch Wednesday, the Satanic Temple told Action News 5, “The kiddos had a great time.”

The “After School Satan Club” has active clubs in California, Ohio, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

This is the first in Tennessee.

“There is no reason that Memphis should have ever allowed an After School Satan Club to come in,” said protestor Samantha Hardmon. “It’s time to revise policy and it’s time for parents to get on their post to pray and protect their kids.”

It’s the Satanic Temple’s fifth active club in the country."

And this is why Christian clubs shouldn't be allowed in public schools.

As always, it's Satanists trolling Christians. Christians keep pushing their religion and beliefs in government and schools. Those same people will scream about freedom of speech while conveniently ignoring the first amendment. Satanists are simply showing the hypocrisy and making a mockery of it.

I applaud the trolling. Stop forcing your religion down everyone's throats. You wouldn't like it if Muslims did it to you. Stop doing it to everyone else. And no, it doesn't give you the right because "This is Christian Nation!" It's not - it's a secular nation built on religious freedom for INDIVIDUALS and NO establishment of ANY religion for government.

Exposing hypocrisy. I guarantee that school already has some sort of Christian club, and of course these protesters are absolutely fine with that.

Not exactly a shocker that these creeps are looking for young kids to hang out with and picked a group to weed out minorities in Memphis.

Oh my, this is the edgiest thing I've seen all day.

Ya, apparently there was a huge scandal a few years back where hundreds of official members of the church of Satan had been raping children for decades, and the highest levels of the organization knew about it, protected and enabled them. Really disgusting stuff, but knowing that it's pretty clear why they would want to be around kids.

Thankfully most Americans are Christians and something like that would never happen in a Christian church, nor would Christians try to infiltrate schools and brainwash kids. Praise Jesus and damn Satan to hell!!!

LOL @ “wouldn’t like it if Muslims did it”

They did it countless times throughout history.

Wow, you mean to tell me that people in a city that's 85% Christian didn't have a problem with them having an after school club, but don't want deformed perverts in bondage gear from Massachusetts coming to play dress up with 6 year olds? Just crazy.

Satanism is becoming mainstream, right out in the open.

I was a boy scout. LOL

It doesn't matter what % Christian the city is. You can't discriminate based on religion. I'd love to see where in the article you got:

You can't have it both ways. If Christians want their beliefs prominently displayed in public, they've got to accept others too. These type of stunts highlight the hypocrisy of the fundamental Christians for everyone to see.

Yeah, 2 years ago, not 50.

Orgies, Harassment, Fraud: Satanic Temple Rocked by Accusations, Lawsuit​

they've run into other aggrieved Satanists around the country who have a litany of complaints about the organization, including allegations of sexually deviant gatherings that, according to one TST memo, allow for "orgies, BDSM, fetish balls... ritual flogging, live ritual sex, burlesque show."

As an atheist myself, there is nothing more cringe than edgy atheists.

Hopefully another humorless chud doesn't go full Y'all Qaeda and behead their statues again.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

The protesters have a right just right to protest as they have the right to have the club

In fact if the want they can use the liberal tactic and dox the adults involved, as long as they keep it legal.

They do. If the school has a significant number of Jewish kids or Muslim kids, they're welcome to have a club for those, and the weirdos in horse heads and bondage gear can stick to hanging out with other depressed white malcontents.

In fact lots of schools do have Jewish and Muslim groups, and these perverts are nowhere to be found because their dads that they're mad at weren't Jewish or Muslim.

So you've got no evidence of the "weirdos in horse heads and bondage gear". Got it.

The usual suspects will vouch for these pathetic edgelords.
