The After School Satan Club will meet in the library at B.M. Williams Primary School in Chesapeake, Virginia on December 15 to discuss kindness and empathy, critical thinking, problem-solving, creative expression, personal sovereignty, and compassion, according to a flyer posted on The Satanic Temple's Facebook page.
According to Fox News, Chesapeake Public Schools Superintendent Jared Cotton said in a statement to parents that the district has policies and procedures in place that allow community groups to use publicly funded facilities outside of the school day. "This is common practice among school districts around the state and nation," the statement read. "Over the years, different religious groups have requested and been allowed to rent our facilities after hours. By law, CPS cannot discriminate based on beliefs among groups wishing to rent our facilities."
Cotton stated that the district had granted the After School Satan Club's request to utilize B.M. Williams Primary School as a venue for gatherings after school hours.
"All students are required to have a parent-signed permissions slip to attend any after school program hosted by an outside organization.
Three days before the first meeting of the After School Satan Club, on December 12, the school board will hold a public hearing on the subject.
