This distribution day happens yearly for an event called National Religious Freedom Day, which is Jan. 16. In high schools, every faith is invited to lay out materials — copies of the Bible, Quran, Book of Mormon and other religious writings — that students can pick up without any prompting.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation had applied to include its pamphlet, "An X-Rated Book: Sex and Obscenity in the Bible," and the School Board initially censored the atheist material but then reversed its decision. However, it was not distributed. Now The Satanic Temple has submitted "The Satanic Children's Big Book of Activities." Both handouts mock other faiths.

Now the School Board is considering changing its policy to prohibit any outside groups from distributing religious materials in high schools. While the board has every right to cancel the day, would that be the best solution?

The Satanic Temple calls itself a religion. Pull it up on the Web, and see how comfortable you feel reading about its "benevolence and empathy" and "common sense and justice." It's Satan. He's a deceiver. He's about evil.

Let's use our own common sense. There is no Satanic Temple in our community; nor would we want it here. Neither The Satanic Temple nor the Freedom From Religion Foundation has any right being a part of Religious Freedom Day because neither are true religions.
