Satanic Temple Offering Religious Class to Ohio Elementary Children

From cbn.com

Not to be outdone by Christians, a group of self-described “non-theistic satanists” are offering elementary-age students at a public school in Ohio the chance to participate in a class hosted by The Satanic Temple.

The program, named “Hellion Academy of Independent Learning,” or “HAIL” for short, will be offered to children at Edgewood Elementary School in the Marysville School District, WSYX-TV reported.

Edgewood is not the first school to offer the class as part of its release time religious instruction program. An elementary school in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, is offering the HAIL program, too.

Dillsburg, PA’s Hellion Academy of Independent Learning (HAIL) students turned into mini Michelangelos this week, diving into the artsy world of carving, sculpting, and modeling! Armed with all the cool tools, they rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty, transforming raw materials into creative masterpieces. Our fabulous volunteers couldn’t help but grin as they watched the students expertly chip away at the negative space, bringing their imaginative visions to life!

To help HAIL continue the fun and learning, donations are appreciate

As for the offering in Ohio, program director June Everett told WSYX-TV the focus of the classes will be teaching kids concepts like empathy, compassion, and justice without religious underpinnings.

“When they hear it, it’s initially shocking, ‘Oh, The Satanic Temple,’” she said. “They automatically think evil and awful things. We are not devil worshippers; we are non-theistic satanists.”

Because students have been granted permission for release from school to participate in Christian programs, a couple parents — according to community organizer Betty Elswick — asked The Satanic Temple to bring the counter program to the Marysville school.

“We wanted to make sure that we had a program that was teaching compassion and empathy and also inclusion,” said Elswick. “Several parents had expressed concerns about their kids coming home and being bullied or made fun of and teased for not participating in the other programs in the area.”

To date, only four students have signed up for the HAIL class. But, according to Everett, the group has learned of interest from students who attend other schools in the district as well as homeschooled children.

As long there is one child to attend and one family that wants to send their child, that is all we care about,” she said. “We are not in this for the numbers.”

As CBN’s Faithwire reported earlier this fall, The Satanic Temple expanded its telehealth abortion clinic program from New Mexico to Virginia. The facilities provide what the group describes as “religious abortion services,” calling the termination of unborn infants part of a “destruction ritual.”

The Virginia-based clinic was opened just before the 2024 presidential election.

In a statement on the development, the group explained, “As abortion rights continue to be a central issue in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, we remain steadfast in our mission to expand access and protect bodily autonomy. We know the urgency of this work, and we will not stop until we have made a lasting difference.”

Who do they think they are kidding?

Satan knows where he is headed because he knows the Word of God. But he is bound and determined to take as many souls with him as he can!

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

COME LORD JESUS!!

    “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Eph. 5:11 We don’t remain silent but reveal the truth about their darkness. True compassion doesn’t promote “inclusion” but warns them of the wrath to come on all children of disobedience.

    Hypocrites or idiots……”we remain steadfast in our mission to expand access & preserve bodily autonomy.” What about the autonomy of the fetus? Are you preserving its autonomy by murdering it?
