    They also have classes for reading, but that wouldn’t rule out a book club. I’m sure they have gym classes too, and are allowed to have after school sports “clubs”. This may surprise you, but some kids are more intelligent than average, or have a higher level of interest in a subject than is taught in classes. After school, optional clubs allow them to explore those interests.

      Some kids are sexually mature at 9, 10, or 11 years old. But we don’t allow them to procreate because we know that they’re not emotionally and intellectually developed enough to understand the repercussions of sex.

      Similarly, in my opinion, religion is something that should not be pushed onto children, especially in a public school setting, until they are mature enough to contemplate the issues. It’s categorically different from other special interests like sports.

      Though there are also many sports fanatics who use kids and sometimes damage their well-being, but that’s another subject…

        THIS CLUB IS NOT RELIGIOUS!

        You have seen nearly a dozen posts pointing this out and you still ignore it and continue to spout blatantly false statements.

        It’s also not being pushed on anyone. It is an optional after school club. Enough with the lies and blatant misrepresentiation of the facts already.

          I’m pretty sure that the Satanists claim to be a religion. That’s their whole thing. That’s how they get the right to do their trolling.

          I’m totally cool with their religion, just as much as anyone else’s.

          I don’t believe that elementary school children sought out the Satanists on their own volition. Someone coerced the kids into doing it.

              So they don’t believe in doing it… but they do it.

              Explain to me how it’s not just trolling?

              Again, I don’t believe that elementary school children sought out the Satanists on their own. It would be almost impossible for 8 or 9 year old kids to know that the Satanists exists.
