I was gonna mention all these towns. Ardmore music hall always has shows and has a septa line to take you into the city to see more

and lets not even start counting Springfields....

Since you mention it, I would start the process to get a passport. Its a good backup for DOB verification and lasts 10 years.

You’ve changed my mind

Should be, but it's within their legal right to refuse. Give it a shot but don't be surprised if they're hardasses about it.

It is not a school activity - it's an after school club sponsored by a satanic church. The district would just be renting space to a satanic church for use after school hours, just as they do in regards to the Christian after school club. Groups can not be denied access to public facilities on the basis of their religious identity. This is well established Constitutional law upheld by the Supreme Court in the 2001 case Good News Club v. Milford Central School

It takes almost twenty minutes to get to Intercourse from Blue Ball, but less than ten to get from Intercourse to Paradise. Pennsylvania knows what's up.

That's true enough, I suppose I just have no faith in either to be honorable.

Lancaster has three different DIY venues, a few small clubs, a couple of places that rent rehearsal rooms, half a dozen recording studios, and lots of bands.

Relax, you’ll live longer

It sucks bigly. And all sorts of selfhelp groups follow the same concepts as a 12-step program. It's not always Christian god but it's always inherent that you learn to hate yourself

This is correct

You're conflating the ADA with parts of educational law such as 504 and ieps, which they don't need to follow as a private school.

Not everyone needs to follow the ada. Is for 15+ employees companies etc. Smaller businesses don't need to follow it.

Respectfully, for you and other people who may be confused, this is a bad take.

The Satanic Temple is not an organization that believes in a supernatural Satan, but one that uses him as a symbol in the rebellion against authority. I, of course, am assuming that you think "dying on a hill" for Satanists is inherently wrong.

I would also argue that if you believe in the principals of the Constitution it is important to stand up for them especially when you disagree with the side whose rights are being infringed. There is the old chestnut of protecting the speech you don't like, which applies here.

Finally, you are wrong about the legal issue. The Equal Access Act of 1984 prohibits public secondary schools that receive federal funding from denying equal access to extracurricular clubs, including religious clubs, based on the content of their speech. You have to let all religious clubs or none. The district already opened the door to religious organizations, they can't close it behind them.

Lititz (Lancaster Co) is home to Rock Lititz (if you aren't familiar - look it up) - so there's a direct connection to the entire music industry here. It's not uncommon to see tour busses and trucks from top name performers on the north end of Lititz when they are here to prepare for a new tour; or stop in along a tour for equipment fixes. There's a small venue right on the campus which has an incredible (Claire Brothers) sound system but its mostly tribute bands that play there. The prices are pretty reasonable to get seats, though they recently changed from using Event Brite to TicketMaster so there are probably higher fees now. And you're only about 5-8 miles from Lancaster where there are more clubs, etc.

Totally depends on where you go. Some places are hard-asses about it, some places don't care. You might have to try a couple times, but don't get discouraged. You'll be able to get drunk on your birthday.

Yes, but ADA is not federal education law and federal education law such as 504 and iep don't apply to private schools.

If you're using Satan as your "higher power," you fundamentally misunderstand the point of deprogramming yourself from methods of magical thinking through sacrilege.

Thyself is thy master. The godhead rests inside the individual, and he was crafted in our image.

Even within the myth of Genesis, the serpent (who actually wasn't Satan but that is the modern interpretation) didn't aim to subjugate man. He aimed, instead, to uplift us through knowledge. To make us Gods unto ourselves through the apple of knowledge and, if uninterrupted, then the fruit of immortality. Read your Bible, says the Satanist.

I recently purchased alcohol with my expired PA license and paper temporary, it was not a problem at all. Should be fine to do with NY ID.

I’m glad I didn’t buy a 6pack when single bottle was available to purchase. Never again

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm definitely looking closer at all the areas mentioned. I'll be leaving a pretty active music community and want to get plugged in right away!

Students in a school don’t have unfettered free speech rights and are subject to speech and activity restrictions decided by their school.

I don’t think freedom of religion is at issue here legally. I think that would apply more if the school wasn’t allowing students to exercise religious practice during the school day.

Freedom from religion seems like a buzzword that has no legal grounding

> Should students be allowed after-school allocations to run such a club?

While I would find the club repugnant, that doesn't mean I'd be in favor of banning it. I'm always shocked by "small government" conservatives advocating for the State to control what private people can do on their own time.

Technically, they’re all made up so…
