    I'm religious and I'd rather trust my kid with a Satanic Temple volunteer that some born-again wingnut any day.

    Chaplains are not qualified to serve in schools.

    Well, it's a good strategy to use in Florida, given that the state bans books while the governor claims to support "freedom".

    I'd support anything that scares the daylights out of these damn "conservatives" and "bible-thumpers".

    This shtick will stop when the legislator would draft a bill singling Christianity(tm) as the only legal religion.
    Don't get me wrong - I'm as atheist as a hitchens fan, but the "loophole" that the satanic temple is exploiting will be eventually plugged by right wing nutjobs.

    That's the point, right? At best this will shut down some poorly written legislation. If it doesn't, and the law gets changed to be explicitly Christian, then at least it's out in the open and no one can claim it's about protecting ALL religions.

    They are getting a lot of press lately and I'm sure the kids would benefit from another view point especially in such a back water place like Florida.

    I don't think the Satanic Temple would support smoking meth.

    Bong Hits For Jesus

    Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, concluded that school officials did not violate the First Amendment. To do so, he made three legal determinations. First, under the existing school speech precedents Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969), Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser (1986) and Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988), students do have free speech rights in school, but those rights are subject to limitations in the school environment that would not apply to the speech rights of adults outside school. Supreme Court cases since Tinker have generally sided with schools when student conduct rules have been challenged on free speech grounds. Second, the "school speech" doctrine applied because Frederick's speech occurred at a school-supervised event. Finally, the Court held that the speech could be restricted in a school environment, even though it wasn't disruptive under the Tinker standard, because "the government interest in stopping student drug abuse...allow[s] schools to restrict student expression that they reasonably regard as promoting illegal drug use."

    Florida is going to be so pissed at TST for getting all this PR and fund raising while adding to their impressive list of accomplishments listed below:

    Remember, god also created satanists because some of his fans need to have their "enthusiasm" curbed.

    Sign up 1000 Islamic mullahs to go into schools and watch the Evangelicals freak out.

    Florida:

    "We have a new bill to allow our state religion to brain wash vulnerable children."

    "No, not like that!"

    This terrifies me, not being cause of the Church of Satan, but because of the Y'all Quaeda assholes that are going to walk into those schools and shoot them.
