Things like this are no longer in the shadows, they're being openly promoted as "good." Reminds me of Isaiah 5:20 -
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!Did you notice how friendly they made Satan and the other characters look in the flier that was in the article?
Even though I expect this sort of thing because I study Biblical prophecy, it still shocks and saddens me.

It appears that my graphic was taken down...Bastards!
Sorry - but I have to agree with the school. And so does SCOTUS.
Part of freedom is to allow even those you disagree with to exercise their right. As long as nothing illegal is going on.
This is not new - there have been several of these in different areas. There was one here in a medium sized Midwestern city that made headlines about 15 years ago (IIRC). Made the news - had a few meetings - died because of lack of interest in just a short time.

I believe these clubs to be harmful. Especially in todays world. Kids are screwed up enough. If the school has to ban all after school clubs so be it.

There are many things that I believe to be harmful to children that are allowed - but it is my responsibility as a parent to address it with my children.
But we need to be careful with deciding 'what is allowed' (and certainly
who decides what is allowed). Look at the CRT ruckus in Virginia; people in power decide what they think is right and you might not agree with it.
I do not want government (at ANY level) deciding what religion is allowed/not allowed. Same for freedom of press/media/etc.

I see your point. I just believe this is so detrimental to young people. As a parent I would never let my child attend, but parents seem clueless on what their children are being taught.

Because people now a days aren't grounded in the bible they are swayed to other harmful things. People quit talking about Jesus and teaching their children 50 years ago or so. You can't push kids into religion but most haven't even heard at all.
Thus the decline of society. Teach them young and instill love for others and with patience and forgiveness they learn.They will stumble but point them in the right direction help them to see when their doing wrong how it hurts others and eventually we hope they learn.
