i fucking love the satanic temple.

Only two of the four horsemen are represented. We’re totally safe!

“The Satanists seem totally cool”

I never thought I’d be such a fan of the Satanic Temple, but their trolling of the “religious liberty” fanatics is pretty much my favorite thing.

The Liberty Council was actually declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to their involvement with Kim Davis, among other things.

I am really digging the Satanists these days. I’ve been a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for years now, but I’m considering converting.

This story is bringing out the absolute worst in anyone.

That’s just sickening. And this will never happen to a white person. I don’t know why people refuse to see this, but deep down I think they approve. After moving to NY from another country and noticing how little white people care (in general) for black people I have to say it’s a little shocking. Even the nicest…

Deescalation > Immediate disciplinary action.

Thank you for writing this. People forget this incredibly important role teachers and other adults in education play, probably because it does not show up on standardized tests.

I had the same thought... “Would you do that to your 16-year-old daughter?” Sadly, yes, I think some people would.

Me and my boyfriend have differing views on this and it has very real potential from breaking us up. I honestly think there's only one reasonable stance to take on this. 😞

Well that took two whole days longer than necessary.

Put cops in every school they said, it will prevent mass shootings they said. It could never possibly be a bad thing...

Grew up in the Bible Belt, so I know a lot of the people who are defending the cop.

Good, now charge him with assault and battery and we’ll be all set.
