The American Civil Liberties Union said Thursday that the Saucon Valley School District had agreed to pay $200,000 in attorney’s fees and to provide The Satanic Temple and the After School Satan Club it sponsors the same access to school facilities as is provided to other organizations.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit in March after the district rescinded its earlier approval to allow the club to meet following criticism. The After School Satan Club, with the motto “Educatin’ with Satan,” had drawn protests and even a threat in February that prompted closure of district schools for a day and the later arrest of a person in another state.
Saucon Valley school district attorney Mark Fitzgerald told reporters in a statement that the district denies having discriminated against The Satanic Temple, its club or “the approximately four students” who attended its meetings. He said the district’s priorities were education and the safety of students and staff.
Four students and Satan, facing down the ISD. You GO guys!
After going back on its word, insulting a minority of students, and paying at least $200,000, they’ll now allow the program! Fucking geniuses there in Saucon Valley administration.
The Saucon Valley administration thanks the taxpayers for their generous donation to the After School Satan Club.
As it always goes.
I guess they can Saucon it, amiright?
I bet we’ll see a small town like this one eventually introduce an ordinance to ban “Satanism” within city limits. And they will see nothing wrong reconciling that with the Constitution.
If you want to teach about God in schools.
Then you have to include all the gods. The old, the new, the spaghetti, the fallen, etc.

Saucon? Saucon deez nuts.
After School Satan club? ASS club. Nice.
On a completely trivial note: who the hell estimates a number that small? Approximately 4? Just count them, it’s not hard.
Jerry doesn’t show up on Wednesdays or Fridays and Susan only goes on Wednesday.
So that’s 2. Who else goes inconsistently?
This isn’t a count of how many were there each day, it is how many participated.
Maybe it’s variable?
It’s a count of how many attended. So I would assume the number is set.
Timmy stopped showing up after January and Blake only comes every third Tuesday. 👀 Who cares?
Add another to the “win” column for TST.
Teachable moment for the school district 🤣
Burning well over $200k will do that. But I’m sure some “mom” that doesn’t even have kids in that school district will try something to disrupt the new club
Lmao
Beautiful.
Common TST W
