MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Faith and education leaders are denouncing plans for an After School Satan Club at a Tennessee elementary school. But say they would follow the law and allow the organization hosting the club to meet. The Commercial Appeal reports that around 40 members of the faith community in Memphis stood united with leaders at Memphis-Shelby County Schools on Wednesday to criticize the planned club. They questioned The Satanic Temple’s intentions in offering it and made it clear that students would need signed permission slips to attend. The Satanic Temple plans to host the club at Chimneyrock Elementary School in Cordova beginning Jan. 10.
