Report: After School Satan Clubs Gain Popularity, Leaders Hope to Teach Tenets of Satanic Temple

After School Satan clubs are reportedly gaining popularity “and are not likely to slow as their supporters rack up media attention and legal wins fighting for free speech,” the Hill reported on Tuesday.

The clubs, which are associated with the Satanic Temple, are currently only offered in primary schools, although the Satanic Temple is looking to expand into high schools, according to the report. The school clubs began in early 2020 and were viewed by some as an “alternative to religious clubs,” campaign director for the After School Satan Club June Everett told the outlet.

“That’s kind of when things started blowing up. And I anticipate that every year moving forward is going to get busier and busier,” Everett said.

The movement has gained momentum with the help of recent legal victories. Last Monday, a district court sided with the Satanic Temple and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which sued a Northampton County, Pennsylvania, school district for not allowing the club to meet on school grounds.

The Satanic Temple states on its website that it was founded in 2014 and seeks to “encourage benevolence and empathy, reject tyrannical authority.”

But as Breitbart News has previously reported, the Satanic Temple is engaged in a “pro-abortion crusade” and has repeatedly “come to the aid of America’s largest abortion provider.” The organization has notably filed multiple lawsuits in different states to overturn pro-life laws and claims pro-life laws deny the supposed right of an “‘involuntarily pregnant woman'” to engage in the “‘Satanic Abortion Ritual.'”

The report claims that despite the association with the Satanic Temple, the students “are not actually getting proselytized or instruct[ed] in devil worship.” Rose Bastet, who has been involved with the Satanic Temple for four years, claimed that the clubs are “not interested in having children identify as satanists” and said her club focuses on learning about different animals.

However, Everett told the outlet that the program could change this coming fall because they are “considering teaching some of the seven core tenets of the Satanic Temple in the clubs,” according to the report. That plan has not been finalized.

Everett said that the organization has “a lot of big plans for next school year,” after speaking about a “children’s version” of the tenets of Satanism:

We just came out with a book that is like the children’s version — or I should say a very sweet way to interpret — the tenets in a very understanding way that children could understand. So we might start actually using this book to talk to the kids about our seven tenets.

Everett said the Satanic Temple is looking to expand to high schools but doing so is more difficult because high school clubs require more student engagement compared to primary schools, where groups are run by adults. The temple is hoping its new partnership with the Secular Student Alliance will help further its reach with older students, according to the report.

“[Secular Student Alliance’s] specialty is really college level and high school kids. So with their partnership, we hope to use them to help us get into more high schools and colleges,” Everett said.

Just more seeds of the serpent laboring for who they're enslaved to.
Nothing really new.

Downward slide is picking up steam. Interesting how those in the postmil camp spin it. Things are certainly not getting better and better....even in the church.

Unreal

What is new is the acceptance of it in this nation but I'm sure it won't affect anything.....

Maybe the Satanic Temple could start an actual school and get some of that voucher money.

In all seriousness, we chase the wrong tennis balls across the yard in this country. Everyday. Over and over.

I like the idea of getting them all in one place.

Doesn't sound like they get to sacrifice goats and such. Boring!

It sure seems unreal.

They are no longer interested in goats; they want our children.

And guess what's next

It's easy for them to get a foothold today since there is very little that still belive in the Lord and savior of mankind.

I’m sure they don’t believe there is a god. So how can there be a devil? Can’t have a he!! without a heaven.

On the contrary, in order to say satan one must acknowledge God and have actively chosen a side.

The atheist on the other hand, though just as actively choosing not to choose, claims neither exists.

They believe in God. Satan wants to be like God. He's trying to make our world his so we can treat him like God. Read Revelation.

True warrior. It’s pathetic what goes on in these schools us tax payers are footing the bill for. It’s just another problem with many others this country won’t put a stop to. I believe things have gone too far to turn around now.

This is why we need to get involved and stop this garbage. We need to stop the demonic rapists who teach our little boys they can be girls if they want to so they watch them prance around in drag. We need to stand up for our rights as Americans and speak out against this.

Satan is the father of lies.

Reminds me of my mother's last years teaching. Each school club was required to have a faculty sponsor and she was for the Bible Club and had been for over twenty years. She was under constant fire those last years getting called in on the carpet if she so much as said God bless you. The club even got banned from her library and forced to meet outside by the flagpole. She was the last faculty sponsor as none would take it up when she retired.

Yet that same school had two gay clubs, for minors mind you.

This was in 2005 and in a rural coal mining district not big city.

Heavens to mergatroid

I don't know about "Satan clubs" in general, but the official church of Satan is atheist. They don't believe in Satan as a person or deity.
