Controversial After School Satan Club Sparks Nationwide Debate

The Satanic Temple, a nontheistic religious organization, has been causing controversy by sponsoring student clubs in schools, challenging state abortion limits, and placing symbols alongside Christmas displays in statehouses. The organization recently started an After School Satan Club at Chimneyrock Elementary School in Tennessee, which has sparked outrage among conservative Christians. While the school cannot legally bar the club from renting space, critics argue that it goes against their faith-based values. The Satanic Temple justifies its actions on First Amendment grounds, claiming religious liberty and free expression.
