Opponents of US Dominionists

[Recusant]

People who're willing to publicly oppose the Christofascist agenda will necessarily become more prominent as the agenda is advanced. Noting the incoming government's further empowerment of power-hungry Christian loony-tunes, also noting harbingers of public endorsement of religiously motivated repression--things are heating up.

I hope this thread will chronicle an active opposition but that remains to be seen.

A public elementary school will begin offering a religious release program for students sponsored by the Satanic Temple, reportedly in response to a Christian program already established in the school system.

Hellion Academy of Independent Learning (HAIL) begins this month at Edgewood Elementary School in Marysville, according to a Facebook post from the Satanic Temple. Students can attend the program once a month during school hours but off the school campus.

An ordained minister with the Satanic Temple, the only Satanic religious organization recognized as a church by the IRS and federal courts, tells WCMH Channel 4 that a parent approached the group and asked for HAIL to be offered at the school.

The minister, June Everett, tells WCMH that HAIL is only offered when requested and only at schools where other religious programs already are established.

LifeWise Academy, an Ohio-based program operating in 200 schools in Ohio, is offered at Edgewood Elementary School, WCMH reports. LifeWise removes participating students from schools for 55 minutes once per week to study the Bible.

The parent requested HAIL as an alternative to LifeWise, Everett tells WCMH. "We aren't trying to shut the LifeWise Academy down, but I do think a lot of school districts don't realize when they open the door for one religion, they open it for all of them," Everett said.
