Satanic Temple announces launch of ‘After School Satan Club’ at Connecticut elementary school

“The state’s first ASSC will launch on Dec. 1 at Lebanon Elementary School in just a few weeks,” the group said. “ASSC volunteers are ready to create a fun and inviting place for students to learn and make new friends.”

The organization said on the Instagram post that the Satanic Temple “is a non-theistic religion that views Satan as a literary figure who represents a metaphorical construct of rejecting tyranny and championing the human mind and spirit.”

The club “does not attempt to convert children to any religious ideology,” the post said.

The group listed “science projects,” “community service projects,” “puzzles and games,” and “snacks” as part of the club’s offerings.

Lebanon Elementary School did not respond to a request for comment about the club on Tuesday morning. 

The new club’s launch comes several months after a federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled that the Satanic Temple must be allowed to hold one of its after-school clubs in a public middle school in Pennsylvania’s Saucon Valley School District.
