Community members in a Tennessee school district want to banish Satan from their children’s halls after the formation of a new club was announced.

The After School Satan Club (ASSC) wants to establish a branch in Chimneyrock elementary school in the Memphis-Shelby county schools (MSCS) district.

Totally read that as Santa and was confused why 1 they made a Santa club and 2 why people were so angry to ban it. Either way bunch of haters and need to be more tolerant like their Jesus was

To be fair, in both cases the situation would have been the same: An after-school club with a fictional mascot taken from Christian mythology, protested BY Christians who are ironically the only ones to actually believe that said mascot exists IRL.
