The law allows Clergy members to volunteer for the opportunity to provide a spiritual dimension, while counseling youth at schools that wish to participate in the program.
Last week, the Florida Department of Education released guidelines for the program, stressing that only qualified chaplains can participate and that the program is voluntary for schools as well as optional for students, who can only participate with the permission of their parents.
“Floridian TST members, supporters, & allies are standing up for true religious freedom & confronting theocracy. Ready to stand with us and raise hell?” The Satanic Temple posted on X.
Keeping the Satanic Temple out of schools was on the governor’s mind when he signed the law. …

The model policy for schools issued by the state defines religion as “an organized group led, supervised, or counseled by a hierarchy of teachers, clergy, sages, or priests that (1) acknowledges the existence of and worships a supernatural entity or entities that possesses power over the natural world, (2) regularly engages in some form of ceremony, ritual, or protocol, and (3) whose religious beliefs impose moral duties independent of the believer’s self-interest.”
The policy noted that school principals are the ultimate gatekeepers for any school district that implements the chaplain policy. …

Love this! Even his name, de-santis, is a visual for his high and holy call! May God continue to protect, lead, and strengthen Governor DeSantis and protect our children and schools.
I would have never thought of taking a course to become a Chaplain, but after becoming aware of this Bill and Law Governor DeSantis signed earlier this year, I signed up for the Chaplaincy Certification on line . Once I finish I intend to put my name on the list of volunteers in my district. Thank you for continuing to bring the news with prayer and action.
