Satanic Coloring Book
I've posted before about unusual coloring books, such as the E.F. Hutton Coloring Book and the Anti-Terrorism Coloring Book, so when a coloring book titled The Satanic Children's Big Book of Activities showed up in the news, it caught my eye.
A group called the Satanic Temple wants to hand out copies of this coloring book to children in Florida schools, arguing that Christian evangelical groups are allowed to distribute bibles and booklets in public schools, so why shouldn't they be allowed to distribute their satanic literature. Equal time for all religions, etc. Of course, there's no way in hell the school board is going to let this happen. [foxkc.com]

I'd not bet the farm on that, Alex. The ACLU & lawyers haven't hit the cowards at the school board with law suits yet.

Latest news is that the school board is not going to allow any religious material at all.

I wonder how this would have played out if it were Muslim coloring book? Which one would they have have found more inflammatory?

And what's with the school trying brainwash children into being honest, polite, and good citizens? If I, as a parent, want my kid to be a dishonest rude bully, who are they to countermand my wishes? Who are they to define what is right and wrong?!

This kind of tongue-in-cheek equal access is much more effective than protests and law suits. They freak out and back right down and eliminate everything, like this board did.
