After School Satanic Clubs could be coming to elementary schools across the country.

A group called the Satanic Temple is trying to open its After School Satan Club in public schools across the nation, in a fight over freedom of speech.

The group’s leaders say Christian Evangelical groups have infiltrated schools ever since a 2001 Supreme Court ruling and taken advantage. However, the group says the ruling says schools operate a “limited public forum,” and therefore can’t discriminate against religious groups holding after school programs on school premises.

The proposed after-school clubs would emphasize the development of reasoning and social skills.

Students would need a parent’s permission to attend.

The “Educatin’ with Satan” will focus on the concepts of “critical reasoning, independent-thinking, fun and free thought,” according to the group’s website. The group emphasizes a “scientific, rationalist, non-superstitious world view” in its syllabus.

There are currently no clubs held in Connecticut.
