They can't without getting rid of all other extra curricular activities & I love that for them.
Don't underestimate the evangelicals, they will cut off their nose to store their face and will cancel all the after school programs over this.
Don’t underestimate the evangelicals, they will ignore the laws and act like martyrs when punished for it. Then they will run for office as defenders of the constitution and church, get elected, push even more evangelical agenda on everyone, be exposed as homosexuals, retire and live comfortably ever after.
This guy understands evangelicals.
Yeah they don’t want fair universally applies laws. They want preferential treatment.
They literally can't get away with cancelling all after-school programs.
Yeah but then they won’t have a nose and we’ll have a court case to win so
Just remember what the SCOTUS looks like now.
If SCOTUS did that then I'm sure there would be (checks notes) no consequences whatsoever.
Yeah, I'm not convinced they aren't itching for the right case to come along to strip seperation of church and state to declare an official state religion.
Please tell me that's sarcasm? The GOP literally just refused to confirm anyone he nominated.
How? What political calculus results in McConnell releasing the hold?
Ok? What magical combination of incentives results in McConnell letting Obama nominate a judge?
What are you going to do? Shoot him? What does Kentucky do then? Do you think the next leader of the Senate is going to roll over? Or is Congress going to impeach that president?
We could speed run a civil war, sure. That's certainly one idea.
Not all, right? Just the religious ones I hope.
Usually the way it works if the school district digs in it's heels is, TST sues the district. The district realizes it cannot win in court because there is a staggering amount of precedent and law against them. Then the district itself shutters all after school programs officially. Except of course the teacher running the Christian club invites kids to off campus gatherings that occur after school. Then the district gets sued again.
No because this isn't a religious club.
The Satanic temple is a non-theistic religious group, that's the entire point. They use religious groups' own tactics against them. If the school allows the Christian church to host a club, then they must allow the Satanic temple to host a club. TST doesn't have anything against after-school clubs and the school could simply choose to ban activities funded by religions.
This isn't a Temple though, it's an After School Satan Club.
It's more of an anti-religious club really.
Right, because they're not evil, but it is still a club organized by a group that is recognized as an organized religion by the US government and has all the protections that come with it. The school will have to choose between allowing all religious groups into schools or none.
I'm just pointing that out since other commenters are insisting that they will have to ban all after school activities as a result which isn't true
Alright, gotcha. Good point.
