Advice to School Boards Regarding Satan Clubs
- By Christian Newswire
WARRENTON, Mo., Nov. 26, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ -- Atheists are at it again, in Knox County, KY this time, trying to prevent the exercise of free speech if it involves Christian viewpoint. In October, the school district allowed the launch of a pilot "Bible Release Time" program operated in partnership with Elgin Children's Foundation (ECF) and a local church. Many similar programs run throughout the state-a class for religious instruction allowed by Tennessee law following these requirements: 1) Children must have a signed parental request; 2) It must be off school property; 3) Government funds cannot be used. On Halloween night, a local atheistic group enacted a deceptive ploy to scare school boards and parents, similar to when after-school Good News Clubs have been launched by Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF).
