    Fucking Christ. Did you not even read what I pasted from my original post?

      I did read it. Just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean that I’m illiterate or unintelligent.

        You didn’t disagree with me. Your question showed an ignorance of what I said.

        Me: “If my shitty private elementary school existed now and I knew about those clubs by the time I was in fifth or sixth grade”

        You: “How would you have known about the Satanists when you were in fifth grade?”

        I literally said I didn’t know about the clubs. I also wouldn’t know about TST because they were founded in 2012 and, believe it or not, I’m not 12 years old.

        So since you really need an answer to your silly question, I wouldn’t have known about The Satanic Temple or the After School Satan Club when I was in fifth grade because I wasn’t in fifth grade last year.

          I’m saying that you wouldn’t have known about the Satanists or any other religion unless an adult told you about it. I’m opposed to preaching to kids.

          I’m also a parent (though my kids aren’t yet at school age) and I’m frustrated with how public schools have become a battleground for the political gain of warring groups. A Satanist after school club is another example.

          You mentioned that you went to private school. I also went to a Catholic private school until third grade so I understand your frustration with them.

            Have you heard of this thing called the Internet?

              Yes. Please answer me this hypothetical. Why do we prohibit young kids from viewing porn?

              The Satanists shouldn’t be allowed to preach to kids just like the Jews and Muslims and Christians shouldn’t be allowed to. The kids aren’t mature enough to understand the issues at hand, just like they can’t understand the repercussions of sex.

                Sorry, you want to prohibit children from learning about Satanism on the internet?

                How would you even go about doing such a thing?

                Also, how do you stop someone from preaching to kids?

                And I understood sex when my mother told me about it when I was five.

                  There are ways of protecting kids from the chaotic influence of the internet. Most states prohibit minors from viewing porn and they’re developing more effective ways to enforce it. Similarly, some states are prohibiting kids from using Instagram until they’re 13.

                  In New Zealand they’ve made it illegal to preach religion to kids. I don’t know exactly the the method but I’ve seen firsthand that it’s possible.

                    You’re talking about prohibiting specific sites but you’re proposing blocking specific Wikipedia pages. That’s ludicrous.

                    In New Zealand they’ve made it illegal to preach religion to kids.

                    Not as far as I can tell from my Googling.
