      Good looking out, I need to kick them another donation. My wife and I got the member cards which are amazing a few months back. I should browse the rest of their store.

    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.

    I will not be surprised at all if they receive very real and very serious death threats. Florida MAGA doesn’t mess around. That place is a lawless swamp.

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

      This shtick will stop when the legislator would draft a bill singling Christianity™ 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.

      It is master trolling, at least that is how I perceive this “religion”. It is like Pastafarianism, but much less obvious parody of the contemporary Christianity.

          A big problem being that doing meth rarely never involves others at a certain point.

      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.”
