The Mount Vernon school district in Washington state has advised its officials to allow the Satanic Temple of the Seattle area to start an after school Satan club at one of their elementary schools.
Lawyer Duncan Fobes says that if the district was to deny the club, they would face costly litigation that would not end in their favor.
The district is one out of nine in the country that has received an application for the club.
The Satanic Temple has been targeting schools that have a Good News Bible Club.
Satanic Temple of Seattle spokesman, Tarkus Claypool said that a parent brought the bible club to their attention and was concerned that the club was teaching children to evangelize to other kids.
According to Claypool the curriculum teaches children logic, self-empowerment and reasoning.
A Supreme Court ruling allows all organizations, religious and secular, to use school property as long as it doesn't promote hate speech or violence.
