‘After School Satan Club’ Rejected from PA Elementary School, Threatens ‘Costly Litigation’
The battle to protect elementary school children wages on. An attempt to create an after school program based around Satan received pushback from a Northern York County School District in Pennsylvania this week.
On Tuesday, the school district voted 8-1 to reject the “After School Satan Club.” The club was proposed by one parent, Samantha Groome, for Northern Elementary School in Dillsburg. Sadly, this is not just one delusional parent’s crazy idea.
The nationwide After School Satan Club program is actually run by the Satanic Temple at “select public schools” throughout the country. The group tries to follow where Good News Cubs, an after-school program based on the gospel of Jesus Christ, “also operate” reports The Washington Examiner.
Lucien Greaves, the co-founder of the Satanic Temple, says that although the club was rejected in Pennsylvania, he will be taking legal action if the club is denied the usage of a public facility. “It’ll have to move into litigation, costly litigation that the community is going to have to pay for” Greaves said about the school board’s vote.
The satanic club can be found in Ohio, Indiana, Utah and Illinois. According to the organization’s website, children in the club are provided with “activities and learning opportunities” under a self-directed education plan that supports “intellectual and creative interests of students.”
An Irish teacher’s fight against the woke masses has landed him in jail. Enoch Burke allegedly was initially suspended on full pay from the Wilson’s Hospital School temporarily, after refusing a request from the principal to address a transgender student by “they” instead of “he,” according to Irish outlet Independent.ie.
Burke is an evangelical Christian who teaches at Wilson’s Hospital School, a high school that is run by the Church of Ireland. It is co-ed and caters to boarding and day students.
Burke continued to show up to school in order to teach, despite his suspension. As a result, the boarding school got an interlocutory injunction restraining order against him, barring him from coming in the building.
Still, Burke showed up every day to work. Then, “the school’s board of management filed a further application, and on Friday, Justice Miriam O’Regan ordered Burke to be arrested and brought into court” reports National Review.
In court, Burke continued to insist on showing up to school teach, saying, “I love my school. I am here today because I would not call a boy a girl,” the outlet reported.
Not going to work and teaching “is not something I will do. It is in violation of my conscience,” Burke added, claiming his suspension was invalid and that he would’ve had to “commit an act of gross misconduct” for it to be justified, according to the outlet.
“It is reprehensible that anyone’s religious beliefs could be taken as a ground for misconduct or gross misconduct,” Burke said. “Were I to obey the order of the board of management and the order of the court, I would have to accept that sticking by my belief in male and female is wrong.”
“It is not something I will do. It is in violation of my conscience,” he added, saying, “Were I to go into the school and bow to something I know to be manifestly wrong, it would be a shame and a disgrace on my part.”
Justice Michael Quinn ordered Burke be committed to Mountjoy Prison and remain there indefinitely “until he purges his contempt or until further order of this court.”
Burke refused to comply with the court’s order after the judge’s decision, saying, “I cannot purge my contempt by holding my Christian beliefs in contempt.”

Leave our children alone. If some mentally unstable people want to “worship” Satan then they can do it in the basement of their own homes.
Satan Worship is NOT a religion and is not protected… unless Joe decides that it is.

If they need a public place, why not offer the rest room, that’s public

Lucien Greaves has his day coming if he does not wake up from worshiping that old devil, Satan. If he does not repent by asking God to forgive him through Jesus Christ then he has his punishment in hellfire coming. I never want to come face to face with that devil for that kind of human being would just as soon to murder you as to look at you. I pray to my Father in Heaven to take this man from among good people and put him somewhere where he will be so secluded in criminals quarters that it will not be possible for him to have access to anybody or anything except the most life possible.
