What’s wrong with being Satanic?
The Satanic Temple had been more supportive and pushing for individual rights, women’s rights, LGBT rights, bodily autonomy, and a science vs religion for years.
They’ve led the fight on the US to make sure that our religious freedoms are upheld. You know…that thing that our entire country was founded upon? There’s nothing more American than embracing Satan lol…
That being said, no one is actually worshipping Satan. The majority of TST supporters are atheist, agnostic, and religious folks with enough religious humility that they support the righteous causes that the TST fights for.
If you could, donate to them or purchase something from their store (which is awesome btw). It all goes to amazing causes that likely 95% of you actually support.
This petition led to a board meeting where other parents complained, with one calling gender-neutral bathrooms a “safety issue,” another saying it’ll “confuse” kids, and another one referring to the family as having “satanic ideas.” Only one parent spoke out in support of the family.
Yeah, gotta keep kids safe from those six-year-old rapists.
Perhaps Satan needs to be destigmatized? Perhaps later this year for the holiday season I’ll send Satan-inspired cards. Right now it’s just a thought and not a promise. Maybe the Satanic Temple should get into the greeting card biz?
In the mean time, the parents should pull their kids right out of that malicious charter school.
