Satanic Temple vows to ‘raise hell in the sunshine state’ as DeSantis passes bad law to put 'religion' in schools
 |
| Trump ally Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis |
The Satanic Temple has vowed to “raise hell in the Sunshine State” as Gov.
Ron DeSantis’ Florida has officially passed a state law allowing religious chaplains in public schools.
As school districts around the state are now deciding whether to have chaplains or not, members of The Satanic Temple are stating that it will send its chaplains to public schools in Florida.
DeSantis signs tragic new religious law
 |
| Aw, c'mon, Ron, you knew we'd show up. |
Earlier this year, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially signed a new law that allowed religious chaplains [of any religion, including Satanism] the opportunity to hold a position in public schools.
This chaplain program is supposed to allow volunteer chaplains to give guidance and support to public school students.
Parents Express Outrage Over Chaplain Program
 |
| You tell your teacher, Hell no! - OK, Mom. |
However, once Gov. DeSantis signed this bill into law, many Florida parents expressed their outrage over the religious program. These parents don’t believe religious chaplains have any right to be on public school grounds, talking with students and pushing their own religious views.
A violation of the Constitution
 |
| Trump: DO it, Ron. I'll pardon you federally. |
Many parents have since come out to declare that this chaplain program violates their own constitutional rights, particularly when it comes to freedom of religion and the separation of church and state.
Various organizations and parents have vowed to take Florida school districts to court if they implement this program.
The Satanic Temple [a collection of progressive people more interested in civil liberties than Satan or Christian fears] has found their own way to push back on this law.
Satanic Temple Chaplains in Florida Schools

| Rightwing conservative showman outsmarts 'em |
After Gov. DeSantis first signed this law, The Satanic Temple was one of the first religious organizations to express its interest in sending its own chaplains to Florida’s public schools.
This move comes as the Temple continues to fight for the separation of church and state. To do so, The Satanic Temple knowingly places itself in these types of situations, as it knows this religion [Satanism as showmanship] is very off-putting to many self-righteous Christians.
Gov. DeSantis Fights Back
However, Gov. DeSantis quickly fought back against the idea of The Satanic Temple having chaplains in schools.
“We’re not playing those games in Florida,”
DeSantis said. “
That is NOT a religion.”
Keeping the Satanic Temple Out of Schools

It's all the Devil's doing! What we need is a Republican-run Christian sharia law theocracy!

.Florida Education Commissioner
Manny Diaz recently released a new model policy for school districts,
pushing only for “credible chaplains” to be put in schools — and thereby keeping Satanic Temple chaplains out.
“Florida welcomes legitimate and officially authorized chaplains to become volunteers at their local schools and to provide students with morally sound guidance,”
Diaz said. [No Satanists need apply.]
The Satanic Temple Continues to Fight
The Satanic Temple — which received its tax-exempt status back in 2019 as a religious organization — is fighting back against these latest moves that were seemingly targeted against it.
In a new post on its website, The Satanic Temple explained that it wasn’t backing down at all.
Raising Hell
In a signup sheet on the Temple’s official website, the group explained that it would “raise hell” in Florida.
“Throughout Florida, The Satanic Temple’s members, supporters, and allies are
standing up for true religious freedom and confronting encroaching
theocracy. Are you ready to stand with us and raise hell in the Sunshine State?”
read the sheet.
School Districts Remain Wary
Though this law has officially been passed, many school districts in Florida have been wary about actually voting for a chaplain policy.
Osceola County School Board voted against
creating a chaplain program for the second time in a row. Many members,
including those appointed by Gov. DeSantis, have expressed their worries over legal issues.
An Unpopular Policy?
 |
| Can we reach that one hypocritcal knucklehead, who is ruining everything to boost himself? |
 |
| Kids have to listen to Satanic chaplains? |
Lucien Greaves, the co-founder of The Satanic Temple, spoke during Osceola County School Board’s recent meeting, stating that they were voting on an unpopular policy.
Greaves stated, “You’re voting on a policy that is unpopular, divisive, poorly planned, obviously dishonest in its goals, unnecessary, and introduces new risks to children, even if you are allowed to implement it.”
Accommodating ALL Religions
 |
| Manny, draft something to keep Catholics out, too |
Greaves further said that the school will have to ensure they are accommodating to all religions.
He added, “The reality is,
you’ll have to accommodate religious identities you may not agree with [like those pesky
Buddhists, Yogis, New Agers, Hinjews, Hindus, meddlesome Quakers, Muslims, angelic Amish, and maybe even the Orthodox Jews]. You will end up with Satanist chaplains.”
