Some parents and grandparents whose children attend the\u00a0Golden Hills Elementary School in Tehachapi, California, are expressing their outrage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Satanic Temple began communication with the district in late October and submitted its completed Civic Center Facilities User Permit Application on Oct. 21,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehachapinews.com\/news\/after-school-satan-club-stirs-controversy-in-local-facebook-groups\/article_328cf898-6880-11ed-9212-574dd55833d6.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tehachapi News<\/a> reported. \u201cThe organization was informed on Nov. 14 that use of the cafeteria at Golden Hills was approved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s disgusting,\u201d Sheila Knight, grandparent to a 5th grader, told <a href=\"https:\/\/bakersfieldnow.com\/news\/local\/new-after-school-satan-club-coming-to-tehachapi-elementary-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bakersfield Now<\/a>. \u201cI understand the school has to allow them because they allow other after school programs such as the Good News, which is a Christian based after school program, that one I\u2019m okay with, but I can\u2019t imagine why anyone would want their child to attend this Satanic group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe keep religious matters out of the teachings of the after school Satan clubs and people often ask us, well then why include Satanism at all, being that people are going to be offended by it?\u201d Lucien Greaves, the co-founder and spokesperson of the After School Satan Club declared. \u201cWell, the fact of the matter is, there\u2019s nothing to be offended by and we don\u2019t want people to be unaware of who we are when we run these programs, as we think there would be a more intense backlash if we were trying to hide it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul Hicks, who will lead the club, which was founded by the Satanic Temple and the Reason Alliance, declared, \u201cThere\u2019s currently a Good News Club there which is teaching kids to go save souls for Jesus, at the school. We want to give an alternative point of view. \u2026 I\u2019m not teaching these kids to be Satanic, I\u2019m not teaching these kids that they need to hail Satan or identify as Satanists, what we\u2019re doing is we\u2019re thinking critical thinking, we\u2019re teaching science, we\u2019re teaching empathy and benevolence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my understanding, the Good News Clubs sent out some flyers, which they are certainly entitled to do, and some parents got together and said we\u2019re not interested in this,\u201d Hicks added. \u201cAnd they knew of the After School Satan Club, and they requested our presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One commenter on the Tehachapi Ask, Raves &#038; Rants Facebook page, who described himself as non-religious, chimed in, \u201cSo several people have told me that the new Satan after school club at Golden Hills elementary is not a religion, but a philosophy club. \u2026 Then why did they choose Satan? Why not the Jean Paul Sartre existentialism club? Why not the Descartes club? Etc. They put Satan in the name for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just sick that they are targeting elementary school kids,\u201d one woman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11450229\/After-School-Satan-Club-elementary-school-sparks-outrage-parents-community.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cThose are babies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A California elementary school is permitting an \u201cAfter School Satan Club\u201d to hold monthly meetings in the school\u2019s cafeteria.
