Gov. Ron DeSantis: no Satanists need apply.
Getting back to work, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has reassured his state that a new, voluntary, school chaplain program, recently signed into law, will not include volunteers from The Satanic Temple (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/florida-governor-desantis-satanists-cant-be-part-school/).
He can’t shut down the public schools, so maybe this would be the next best thing. The chaplains will be there to provide students with various services and “support.”
Asked about the exclusion of Satanists as chaplains, the governor said “We’re not playing those games in Florida.” The program will be 100% voluntary, he said, and based on “common sense”–hence no Temple of Satan involved.
Satanists, of course, have threatened a lawsuit over this, and their head honcho has challenged the governor to debate him. Honk if you think that would be a good idea.
A “Satanist chaplain” is an oxymoron anyway.
