Parents in Tennessee are expressing outrage after discovering that an after-school club sponsored by the Satanic Temple will be hosted in a local elementary school. According to a flyer distributed in the school, the Temple identifies as a non-theistic religion, viewing Satan as a metaphorical embodiment of resistance against tyranny and an advocate for human intellect and spirit.
While members of the local community have voiced their shock and concern, school officials have stated that they have no control over the situation. The underlying issue is a legislative one – any accommodations made for one organization must, by law, be extended to all others.
