How many times have we said it? If a school board plays favorites with religion and rejects one which is lesser known (The Satanic Temple) yet still recognized as a religion, they'll be taken to court, LOSE, and end up paying the legal fees and court costs. It's pretty clear that the Memphis-Shelby County Schools weren't listening when we told 'em, and now they're going to be out $15,000 that could have gone to school supplies or teachers' salaries or SOMETHING far more constructive. One can hope that the school board and faculty have learned something from this little contretemps.

OTHER school systems? They might take note, but I'm not sure I'd bet on it.

It's high school level civics that our secular government cannot choose one religion over another, and public schools are a sub-division of government. Christian privilege is alive and well in today's America. These folks cannot seem to get past the idea rights are not matters of majority rule. Rights exist to protect the individual from the tyranny of the majority.
