In the battle to save American values, red states are leading the charge. Many Republican-controlled state governments have recently passed laws that strike a blow against the progressive left’s agenda.
They have protected children from transgender activism, secured pro-life victories, and defended their communities from Biden’s border crisis.
But the left never seems to fail at finding new ways to erode traditional, American values. Red Florida is looking to pass a law that will allow volunteer chaplains in public schools. This would allow Christian pastors to help students in need. And guess who is already gearing up to spoil this plan?
As legislation that would allow volunteer chaplains in Florida public schools nears passage, The Satanic Temple says it’s looking forward to the opportunity.
“Any opportunity that exists for ministers or chaplains in the public sector must not discriminate based on religious affiliation,” wrote The Satanic Temple’s director of ministry, who goes by Penemue Grigori, in an email.

The Satanic Temple of Florida is already gearing up to send chaplains into public schools, should the Republican-controlled legislature pass a new bill. The “religion” went out of its way to say that a law that gives one religion a right must be applied to all religions.
The Satanic Temple, which has chapters in nearly every corner of America, claims it does not worship Satan. Instead, it claims to be a mostly atheistic group that does not believe in “superstitions” like faith in God.
However, the group extensively uses Satanic imagery, including statues of pagan deities often associated with the devil by Christians. At the very least, the group is trying to antagonize and mock Christians. At the very worst, it is a poorly disguised worship of Satan.
Either way, it is likely the group issued this statement to undermine the passage of the bill. There are far more Christian and Jewish institutions in Florida than the Satanic Temple. While this “church” might be able to provide some chaplains, they will be greatly outnumbered by pastors.
Their attempts at “doing good” in the name of Satan would be dwarfed by the many churches and Christians entering Florida public schools. Fearing this, they might be trying to discourage this bill.
