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.
The ASSC is a federally recognized nonprofit organization and national after-school program with local chapters across the US. The club is associated with the Satanic Temple, though it claims it is secular and “promotes self-directed education by supporting the intellectual and creative interests of students”.
The Satanic Temple makes it clear its members do not actually worship the devil or believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural. Instead Satan is used as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism.
Yeah but then they won’t have a nose and we’ll have a court case to win so
Just remember what the SCOTUS looks like now.
If SCOTUS did that then I’m sure there would be (checks notes) no consequences whatsoever.
Yeah, I’m not convinced they aren’t itching for the right case to come along to strip seperation of church and state to declare an official state religion.
Thanks Obama
Please tell me that’s sarcasm? The GOP literally just refused to confirm anyone he nominated.
And he should’ve gone to war with them over it instead of assuming that he would win support at next election. McConnell’s “rationale” was “let the American people decide!”
How? What political calculus results in McConnell releasing the hold?
“calculas”
That’s why Dems always lose.
Ok? What magical combination of incentives results in McConnell letting Obama nominate a judge?
Surrounding the Capital with trooos until McConnell does his goddamn job, and meanwhile charging him with treason.
And I dont wanna hear about the goddamn “rules”. McConnell bltantly shit all over the Constitution and everyone just fucking sat there and didnt do shit. That’s why we have fascism now: pussies whine and do nothing.
