How is allowing other religions the same rights "bashing Christianity"? Are you that insecure in your religion that you are afraid it can't stand up to the beliefs of others?
Because these incidents seem to always involve shoehorning Satanism in along side Christianity. Satanism is pretty much the antithesis to Christianity. It's akin to putting a KKK display up next to a Black History display and asking why people think its racist.
If these groups were spreading Muslim, Buddhist or Hindu pamphlets, it wouldn't be a problem. This is simply about spitting in the face of Christians, and exposing kids to extremely harmful material is justified if they get to make their statement.

You write as if Christians have a greater right than any other religion to disseminate their literature in Public Schools.

Excerpt from the The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities:
"These bullies are mad and afraid of things they don’t understand,” the instructions on the word-jumble reads. “Help Damian use inclusive language to defuse the situation."
Doesn't sound very anti-Christian to me. I think you're projecting your own prejudice against anything that isn't Christianity rather than vice versa.

I don't believe you typed the bold part with a straight face. You must know it isn't true. Christians would have just as much of a problem, if not more so, especially if it's Islam. But we may get a chance to find out if they take advantage of the huge door the Evangelicals have opened for them.
They think they're being clever in their real-world trolling, but these people are simply showing how mean-spirited and petty they are, when they're cheering the distribution of satanist material to children simply to spite Christians.
Simply to spite Christians?
What make you think Satanists don't want to spread their Good Word? Why is it that Christians proselytizing to children at public schools is sincere, but Satanists proselytizing to children at public schools is spite?
Don't ruin all the fun these folks get from bashing Christianity! As Gods Word says "They have their rewards". I'd prefer my rewards later, so Chrisian haters, bash away!
I don't care much about christianity, and certainly can't be bothered to hate it, or to bash my christian relatives.
But christians simply don't get to be the sole occupiers of the public religion marketplace. Getting all huffy and offended when someone else is doing the proselytizing makes you look a bit silly.
Satanism isn't a real recognized religion. It is for the looney tunes out there like Scientology. Who cares anyway, schools aren't for learning anyway anymore, they are for indoctrination into hating America.

"My religion is just Ayn Rand's philosophy with ceremony and ritual added." ~ Anton LaVey, founder of The Church Of Satan
They have a trademark on the most recognizable satanic symbols if that tell you how serious of a religion it is. It's Randian objectivism that co-opted middle age and 19th century ceremony and symbols that were considered blasphemous. It's mean spirited in outlook and actually has some philosophical stances, but was a troll religion from the start.

The spokesman for the Satanic Temple, Lucien Greaves, explained that his organization “would never seek to establish a precedent of disseminating our religious materials in public schools because we believe our constitutional values are better served by respecting a strong separation of Church and State.”
“However,” he continued, “if a public school board is going to allow religious pamphlets and full Bibles to be distributed to students — as is the case in Orange County, Florida — we think the responsible thing to do is to ensure that these students are given access to a variety of differing religious opinions, as opposed to standing idly by while one religious voice dominates the discourse and delivers propaganda to youth.”
In other words, "we don't have any desire to put our materials in public schools, unless Christians are."
Why not answer the question? I would be interested in why you don't think it's a serious question.
You are silly. If you really think we should give any credence to satanism, you are a sicko beyond human help.
