    As culture wars continue to brew in schools across the United States, one unconventional group is pushing for more representation in the classroom: Satanists. This has particularly caused controversy in states like Tennessee, where an elementary school formed a program for children called the “After School Satan Club.”

    This program was created by an organization called the Satanic Temple, a relatively new religious movement that purports to teach “compassion and empathy toward all creatures.” However, the introduction of these clubs has unsurprisingly made parents upset, while supporters of the Satanic Temple say they are working to improve the lives of children.

      The Satanic Temple really is great. For those that haven’t heard of them, check it out. Donate. Join. They use religious laws for the promotion of logic, reason, and empathy.
