    If I lived in Florida shudder or really anywhere with programs like this, I’d be damn tempted to start a pagan school. “Today kids, to finish our ecology section we will be planting a ring of oak trees, and then chanting for their blessing. Health class will have a discussion of the latest research on the impacts of meditation, art will be painting a set of symbols from your tradition. Math will be the next section on trigonometry.”

      I’d start the world’s first satanist school for children.

      There’d be dope as art featuring child appropriate depictions of Satan everywhere, we’d begin every day with a black mass which would just be putting on black robes and talking about a challenging thing you’d like to get better at today, and I’d hire really really good science teachers. Critical thinking would be a core component of the curriculum and the students would be rewarded for rationallly and respectfully challenging authority in a way commensurate with furthering their own individual learning goals.

      The ultimate goal of the school would be to produce intelligent freethinkers who had the tools to challenge destructive normative behaviour and a deep respect for people’s’ autonomy and differences.
