The Satanic Temple, the same people who successfully petitioned the state of Oklahoma to allow them to erect a goat-headed Baphomet statue adjacent to a display of the Ten Commandments, are now distributing a Satanic children's activity book in Florida schools, in response to a Florida judge ruling that if the school district allowed Christian groups to disseminate Bibles and Christian-oriented religious materials in its schools, it would also have to allow atheist groups to do the same.
A PDF of the activity book is available here.
It's pretty cute. Especially the puzzles.
"You're exposing our kids to your foul--"
"The answer to that one is 'Justice.' Next one is 'Freedom.' Which parts of that don't you like?"

The spokesman for the Satanic Temple, Lucien Greaves, explained that his organization “would never seek to establish a precedent of disseminating our religious materials in public schools because we believe our constitutional values are better served by respecting a strong separation of Church and State.” “However,” he continued, “if a public school board is going to allow religious pamphlets and full Bibles to be distributed to students — as is the case in Orange County, Florida — we think the responsible thing to do is to ensure that these students are given access to a variety of differing religious opinions, as opposed to standing idly by while one religious voice dominates the discourse and delivers propaganda to youth.” |
