Memphis-Shelby County School officials made a public stand against the Satanic Temple program at Chimneyrock Elementary.
“I want to assure you that I do not endorse, I do not support the beliefs of this organization at the center of the recent headlines,” Interim Superintendent Toni Williams said. “I do, however, support the law. As a superintendent, I am duty-bound to uphold our board policy, state laws and the constitution.”
The Temple claims they don’t worship any sort of diety, including Satan. They use the image of the devil as a symbol of humanist ideals instead, and have no intention of swaying children into any type of religion.
