The Satanic Temple, Inc. v. Saucon Valley School District

No. 5:23-cv-01244 District · Teaching/Historical Teaching/Historical

Case Overview

The Satanic Temple sued the Saucon Valley School District in Pennsylvania after the district refused to allow an After School Satan Club to meet on school property while permitting other extracurricular religious clubs. The court granted a preliminary injunction finding likely Free Speech and Equal Access Act violations. The case settled in November 2023.


The Conclusion

**The case settled after a preliminary injunction was granted.** The court found The Satanic Temple likely to succeed on First Amendment and Equal Access Act claims, as the district had created a limited public forum for student clubs but excluded the After School Satan Club on viewpoint grounds. The settlement restored equal access.
