‘Satan Club’ approved at Olathe Kansas Northwest High School

[essentialsaltes]

Despite a petition against it, a “Satan Club” has been approved by the Olathe School District.

An Olathe Public Schools spokesperson stated, “the club application met the criteria to establish a student-initiated club and is now recognized as a student-initiated club at Olathe Northwest High School.”

[The law requires that] if the school allows one club, it allows all — providing the application process is complete and the group meets the guidelines for recognition.

I think a club devoted to

Tlazōlteōtl​

Would be a lot more fun!

I just see teen kids taking their rights out for a spin to see what it’s like and parents yelling “no not like that.” Pretty normal stuff.

"Sure. We'll approve your club. Just don't do anything evil against me, my husband/wife, and my family. Thanks."

I don't think that every club like this deserves a thread.

Yes they do. And Chik-fil-A stuff too.

One thing that got better because us boomers suffered!

My high school had both a semi underground library and an underground newspaper. The administration did everything they could to kill both of them. But there was little they could do against Narya the newspaper, because it was distributed off campus. They did however claim it was financed by Hanoi and that the editors were idiots. Ironically the week before that claim was made, I was the major financing! And both of the co-editors were in AP classes (much harder then because there were very few AP classes).

I wish I could remember what books were in the free library. My bet would be that people are still trying to ban them.

Since there was a huge overlap in the students behind both the library and newspaper it is a good bet it included some works by Tolkien.

And the war on Christmas.

At least you got Tolkien. We got Rowling. It’s good, but nowhere near as mind-blowing as anything Tolkien did.
