Reply to comment by Wuz314159 in Community members address 'After School Satan Club' at Saucon Valley school board meeting by Wuz314159

It’s lede, for what it’s worth. It’s insane to me that they got rid of the club because a jackass in North Carolina called in a threat. Something tells me they wouldn’t do the same if someone threatened the Christian club (not advocating for that).

The only reason they kept it in the first place was because legally they had to. They were always going to can it the moment they had a viable reason.

What's the viable reason? All I see is a man threatening to kill kids.

After that idiot did that the school said it was too disruptive to continue.

Sounds like the idiot was too disruptive. Why would anyone let that logic slide?

Because the school didn't want it in the first place but they couldn't legally turn it down. This also happened in Florida, a school district wanted to let Christians give literature to kids. Legally, if they were opening up the school to Christians they had to open it to all religions. They stopped the whole thing when a Muslim group and the satanic temple started showing up. The satanic temple made a coloring/activity book to hand out.

I think you're missing the point. They only wanted Christians to be allowed access to the kids but legally couldn't say that. So when the other groups came in because they were legally allowed to the school shut the whole thing down. Just like in this instance, the school couldn't legally tell the group no, so the moment they could make a half assed excuse they shut it down.

So now Christians also cannot hand out literature or have their group at the school?

If so, I did indeed get the point.
