LOCAL | Satanic Temple Files Lawsuit On MSCS For Not Withholding First Amendment Rights

Memphis-Shelby County Schools is being sued by The Satanic Temple, the organization behind After School Satan Club, for not withholding the standards of the First Amendment.

This comes after a lot of buzz last December when Chimneyrock Elementary School announced it would be the location for the controversial after school club.

The Satanic Temple’s claim is that MSCS has been treating their organization different than others by being charged with surprising security fees and disrupting the flow of their After School Satan Club meetings.

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.
