Ohio Schools Now Allow Satanic Temple Lessons During Class Hours – Wait, What?!”
The Satanic Temple has been allowed to launch a program at an Ohio elementary school.
The “Hellions Academy of Independent Learning,” also known as “HAIL,” program is offered to Edgewood Elementary School students in Marysville.
The Satanic Temple targeted the school because of its partnership with LifeWise Academy, a Christian Release Time Religious Instruction (RTRI) program, which teaches students about the Bible for one hour each week if their parents opt them into the program.
The organization claims that since the program is permitted for Christians, it must be allowed for any religion — including Satanists.
Ohio schoolchildren can now spend part of their school day learning the teachings of the Satanic Temple through the state’s religious release program.
