Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed a bill allowing religious leaders and "patriotic organizations" to interact with students in school, a move that the Satanic Temple plans to contest. HB 1317 authorizes school districts to bring in "patriotic organizations," such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, The Boy Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and more.
"Some have said that if you do a school chaplain program, that somehow you're going to have Satanists running around in all our schools," he said at the press conference Thursday. "We're not playing those games in Florida. That is not a religion. That is not qualifying to be able to participate in this."
Any republican religionistas wish to weigh in on a state governor dictating what is a real religion?

If you want to get into West Point or Annapolis a good path is to become an Eagle Scout.
It prohibits children under the age of 14 from becoming social media account holders and allows 14- and 15-year-olds to become account holders with parental consent.
Hopefully other states will soon follow.

I imagine that will be thrown out.
The Court established in Erznoznik v. City of Jacksonville that speech, even that which may be harmful to minors, is protected except in very limited circumstances. The Roberts Court also ruled in Brown v Entertainment Merchants Association that a California law designed to protect children from violent video games did not establish that the state had an interest in protecting children from psychological or neurological harm to minors allegedly caused by video games and even if the state had such an interest, the law was too broad to meet the objective.
Similar laws have already been been temporarily blocked by courts such as the one in Ohio. www.reuters.com
