Death threats from followers of Jesus really drive this whole thing home

I for one wish the club was actually about satanic worship. These knuckleheads that were calling in threats don’t even realize it had zero to do with that. It would take all of 30 seconds to google what the club is about. Anyway I hope this club comes back and most importantly hail satan.

I might of mis-read the article but it says it was one person and his name is Ceu Uk. Doesn’t say anything about him being Christian or part of an activist group. Just wondering where your information came from?

I'm stuck on "could". Like, what does that mean? Are you going to? Let me know how that shit goes.

ACLU says "it could."

Is this really what they said? Or did the author engage in lazy passive-aggressive writing?

Either shit (sue them) or get off the pot (stop issuing meaningless statements).

Bro did you really just try to "it's severely unlikely that a man who called in a shooting threat over a club named "After School Satan Club" is a Christian. Especially when his name sounds so foreign-y!" us?

*might have

*misread (it's one word)

>“He stated the After School Satan Club is trying to turn kids into devils, and he found out about it on Facebook,”

Please list non-secular organizations that are concerned about "trying to turn kids into devils".

Fucking plug your ears and close your eyes some more.

Tax dollars will go to fighting this ridiculous law suit. There are so many great causes the ACLU can use its resources on. Stupid shit clogging up the system. Please don’t tell me it’s a free speech issue . Just some rich kids that are bored.

So, was the After School Christian Club cancelled too? Isn't that the point?

This sub is unhealthily obsessed with this particular story. We need to pin it and have one megathread.

Everybody is posturing, ASS, the superintendent, and the ACLU.

The Super, who serves at the consent of an elected school board in a conservative area needs to appear to push back against "the devil"

The ACLU is asking the super to blink. "Do you really want to do this?"

Ok, let me pose this question to you. If say I was a student at this school and wanted to start the let’s say “Christ Club” and I was turned down (as I should be) Do you think the ACLU would come to my defense and say it is a free speech issue? If the answer is yes then I will agree with you.

Ok, I just did. They said "What is a subreddit? What are you talking about?"

That got me nowhere. I'll check back in tomorrow when this is posted about again.

BTW, I never expressed an opinion on the subject. I'm just saying, of all the things happening in PA, this thing is getting disproportionately brought up.

"I don't think any religious-based clubs or thoughts should be placed in our school,” said Jessie.

So does Jessie get it or it’s the a massive r/woooosh?

Maybe ACLU should spend their efforts somewhere else. Like suing someone to change the fact that ⅔ of kids in the largest school district in the state can't read at grade level?

I thought education was a human right?

Injecting themselves into some situation with a satan club seems like an absurd waste of resources. Kids in Saucon can read.

Choosing to die on this hill doesn't help district kids. SVSD will blow $ on this whole "culture war" nonsense that they could have, instead, chosen to spend on the kids. The best that they can hope for is to find a right-wing law group who'll work for them in exchange for the free publicity (which will lessen damages, when they come, but not make them 0...see Kitzmiller v Dover SD).

High or decent quality education isn't a right in the United States, so they cannot do that.

Freedom of religion, separation between church and state, and freedom of speech are established and protected rights in the United States with legal precedent.

Just a simple question. Where did you get your information from? No need to get all fired up. You are making all the implications, not me. How do we know he isn’t a non-denominational mentally I’ll person living in his mom’s basement?

I’m not trying to convince people of anything. If he’s a Christian activist, great, I don’t care. I am open to that. You on the other hand are not open to anything other than the fact he is with zero supporting information.

It is scary when people want to yell and scream in an attempt to silence. Yell and scream when somebody asks a legit question that the answer to might go against their their developed narrative. I answered your question. I am not trying to convince anybody of anything. Just seeking the truth….nothing I’ve said so far is persuasive either way. Now can you please answer my question. Where did you see information that says this guy is a Christian?
