After School Satan Club causes controversy in one Pennsylvania school district
A flyer promoting an after-school Satanic group is stirring up a lot of controversy in the Lehigh Valley.A flyer promoting an after-school Satanic group is stirring up a lot of controversy in the Lehigh Valley after the Saucon Valley School District agreed to allow the group to use its middle school to host the after-school meetings for students ages 5 to 12.
June Everette, the national campaign director for the After School Satan Club, said the club only goes into a school where a parent has requested its presence.Good News Club is another after-school program at Saucon Valley Middle school that's sponsored by a local evangelical church that discusses the Bible."We as members of the Satanic Temple do not believe in or worship the devil," said Everett. "We don't tell them Satan is the good guy and God is not real.
She says the club teaches children about compassion and creative thinking. It's the name and the image on the flyer that's creating concern. "Associating it with such a figure that we commonly equate with being evil. Not a good thing in my opinion," said Reverend Lisa Borr, with the New Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church."Religious groups are among those the district has allowed to rent our facilities over the years. By law, the district cannot discriminate among groups wishing to use the SVSD facilities.
