On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 931<\/a> \u00a0into law.<\/p>\n

The law allows school districts and charter schools to \u201cadopt a policy to authorize volunteer school chaplains to provide support, services, and programs to students as assigned by the district school board or charter school governing board.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Governor also made it clear that the program will not be imposed upon public school students, sharing that it is \u201ctotally voluntary for a parent or a student to participate.\u201d<\/p>\n

In subsequent comments, DeSantis made it clear that the new measure would not open the door for members of the Satanic Temple to be public school chaplains.<\/p>\n

The Florida Phoenix reports,<\/a> \u201cSome have said that if you do a school chaplain program that, somehow, you\u2019re going to have satanists running around in all our schools. We\u2019re not playing those games in Florida. That is not a religion. That is not qualified to be able to participate in this. So, we\u2019re going to be using common sense when it comes to this. You don\u2019t have to worry about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Satanists are displeased.<\/p>\n

The Christian Post reports<\/a> the co-founder of The Satanic Temple responded to the new law with a request to debate DeSantis.<\/p>\n

Lucien Greaves, co-founder of The Satanic Temple, which oversees After School Satan Clubs<\/a> and planned to take advantage of the law, argued in a series of social media posts summarizing his comments to media that DeSantis\u2019 words \u201chold no authority<\/a>\u201d because the U.S. Constitution \u201cguarantees equal treatment under the law.\u201d The group has threatened to sue<\/a> if its members were prohibited from participating in the chaplain program.<\/p>\n

Greaves stressed<\/a> DeSantis \u201cinvited Satanic chaplains into public schools, whether he likes it or not\u201d because<\/a> he is \u201cnot at liberty to amend the Constitution by fiat.\u201d He also noted that The Satanic Temple is recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt religious organization.<\/p>\n

After a call with DeSantis\u2019 office on Friday, Greaves announced he instructed the organization\u2019s Executive Director of Operations to send a formal proposal for a debate between DeSantis and Greaves.<\/p>\n

The Satanic Temple has fought to hold After School Satan Clubs in school districts across the country, including Pennsylvania<\/a>, Virginia<\/a>, California,<\/a> North Carolina,<\/a> Ohio<\/a> and Illinois<\/a>.<\/p>\n
