"We aren't trying to shut the LifeWise Academy down, June Everett, an ordained minister with the Satanic Temple, told Cleveland.com. But I do think a lot of school districts don't realize when they open the door for one religion, they open it for all of them."
"The Satanic Temple will begin offering a religious program at an Ohio elementary school in response to parent requests for an alternative to a Christian release program."
"In recent years, release time programs have experienced a revival, particularly in Ohio. LifeWise began with two districts in 2019, and by 2023 the program grew to 325 programs in 12 states."
"Their other works include hauling a 7ft-tall bronze Baphomet statue to the steps of the Arkansas capitol to protest the installation of a Ten Commandments monument and starting the after-school Satan club, in response."
