"Satanists are volunteering to fill vacancies across Florida schools after Ron DeSantis signed a new law pushing for more religion in schools. A state law went into effect last week allowing for “additional counseling and support to students” from outside organizations to fill staff shortages – including from religious groups. The Florida initiative allows chaplains to serve as public school counselors as more states aim to embed Christianity into public school environments.

The Satanic Temple is officially recognized as a religion by the US government.

DeSantis contests that Satanism is “not a religion” and said its followers would not be allowed to participate in the program."



Why not Satanists?

Because it is a political statement, nothing more.
Typical MAGA, freedom for me not for you.

First, Hail Satan.
Second, you can't pick and choose a religion that is ok for this. If you want religion in school, you have to take all of them, or none.
and C, I prefer none.

So your rights supersede everyone elses? Yup doesn't work that way. I mean I know you want it to, but be that as it may.
You can say whatever you want, but you can't force your bullshit on others. You want religion in schools, this is the price for admission.
Government cannot force one singular religion down the throats of the public.
Deal with it. (or don't.)
 
He supports freedom of religion for all religions from Pentecostalism all the way to Methodist.


Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
"You have offended him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince, and yet it is nothing but his hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else that you did not got to hell the last night; that you were suffered to awake again in this world, after you closed your eyes to sleep. And there is no other reason to be given why you have not dropped into hell since you arose in the morning, but that God's hand has held you up. There is no other reason to be given why you have not gone to hell since you have sat here in the house of God provoking his pure eye by your sinful, wicked manner of attending his solemn worship. Yea, there is nothing else that is to be given as a reason why you do not this very moment drop down into hell."

Technically they would be a subset of Christians or Jews yes?

Sounds like a lawsuit.

This is grounds for a lawsuit against the State of Florida that Florida cannot win.

It's ABSOLUTELY religious discrimination.

Florida needs to go broke over this issue.

Proof texting is a wasted effort. Those that aren’t into it won’t read it.

Thats cool. However, your speech does not subordinate the First Amendment. If religious chaplains are approved, they cannot be discriminatory per what religion.
