This is ā€œrelease timeā€ and our Supreme Court has allowed it, as long as itā€™s not on school campuses. Parents have to give permission for children to attend. In other places, churches send buses to the schools to take the kiddoes away. Here in Arizona (and also in Utah, when I lived there), the Mormon (LDS) church has ā€œseminariesā€ next to or across the street from high schools for their release time program. This has been permitted for *years*.

Oklahoma just passed another law (itā€™s already legal, this was performative) allowing release time. The Satanic Temple is likely to sue, but not to get rid of it. More to embarrass the hell out of the state and local school districts to get their HAIL (Hellion Academy of Independent Learning) program into districts where parents have requested it. (Not sure how that will work out in places where anyone who isnā€™t Baptist / Methodist / Presbyterian is already a minority, even if they are Catholic or Episcopalian.)

Anyway, the logo for HAIL is cute.
