An eastern Pennsylvania school district has
agreed to fork out $200,000 to settle a
discrimination lawsuit from The Satanic
Temple — and allow students to attend
controversial After School Satan Club
meetings on school facilities.

The Saucon Valley School District agreed
to pay $200,000 in attorney’s fees while
vowing to provide the club with the same
access to campuses as other organizations
get, despite previous fiery protests.

The lawsuit was filed with help from the
American Civil Liberties Union, which
called Thursday’s settlement “a victory
for free speech and religious liberty.”

The district, about 60 miles north of
Philadelphia, had initially agreed to
allow school facilities to be used for
the After School Satan Club, whose motto
is “Educatin’ with Satan.”

It was accused of discriminating earlier
this year when it withdrew permission
following a fierce public outcry,
culminating in protests and even a threat
in February that led to schools shutting
down for a day.
