Controversial After School Satan Club gains foothold in Tennessee elementary school

An After School Satan Club is set to begin offering activities to children at a Tennessee elementary school, sparking controversy. The Satanic Temple plans to host the club at Chimneyrock Elementary School, emphasizing a non-theistic religion that views Satan as a metaphorical construct. The school district stated that it is obligated to uphold the principles of the First Amendment and cannot deny access to non-profit organizations based on their beliefs. The club's activities include science projects, community service, puzzles, games, nature activities, and arts and crafts. Some parents and officials expressed alarm, while others argued for the protection of First Amendment rights.
