We incorporate games, projects, and thinking exercises that help children understand how we know what we know about our world and our universe. What do children learn in the After School Satan Clubs?Īll After School Satan Clubs are based upon a uniform syllabus that emphasizes a scientific, rationalist, non-superstitious world view. Milford Central School that schools operate a “limited public forum” and that, as such, they may not discriminate against religious speech should a religious organization choose to operate an After School Club on their premises.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 in the case of Good News Club v. We prefer to give children an appreciation of the natural wonders surrounding them, not a fear of everlasting other-worldly horrors. After School Satan Clubs will focus on free inquiry and rationalism, the scientific basis for which we know what we know about the world around us.
