Orange County Public Schools may ban all religious and political materials from school grounds, all because a Satanic group wants to hand out materials to students.

“I will share with you that my office alone, I received close to 11,000 emails in one 48-hour period on this issue and it gives you an idea of the level of disruption it was causing,” explained Orange County Public School Board Chairman Bill Sublette.

A group called the Satanic Temple wants to distribute its materials, including a book called, "The Satanic Children's Big Book of Activities."

They say it's a way to protest other religious materials being allowed in some Orange County high schools, like Bibles and Atheist literature.

Last year an evangelical group was able to passively hand out Christian literature on school property.

“But we think the new proposed policy is most likely unconstitutional because it does deny access based of having a religious viewpoint,” shared Liberty Counsel attorney Roger K. Gannam.

“Liberty Counsel represents World Changers, which is the organized that has been handing out the bibles and we would gladly bring suit on their behalf to challenge the change in the policy like the one that’s been proposed,” AGannam said.

The school district, in a meeting Thursday, said it would consider the proposed ban based on similar rules in Miami-Dade and Broward school districts.

It is an idea supported by a Central Florida group, advocating for the separation of state and church.

“I think the school should be used to educate students not indoctrinate them and I think that’s where the school board has gone wrong in the last few years,” shared David Williamson, a member of the Central Florida Freethought Community.

The school board wants to go with an overall ban so they don't have to pick and choose between groups. The proposal would not affect student-led clubs or programs like Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

“We’re trying to maintain a high quality educational environment and it became a disruptive issue and we’re not about to allow that disruption in our classrooms,” Sublette added.

The Satanic Temple sees the ban as a win for them because they don't think any religious materials should be in schools.

“It’s a win-win at least we’re stopping the worst case scenario from being enacted,” said Lucien Greaves, co-founder of The Satanic Temple.

“But I think it really does raise serious questions about the competence of the school board, if they weren’t considering the fact that other religious groups might come forward and might want to disseminate material,” Greaves continued.

A workshop on the issue is scheduled for January. There will then be a public hearing and possibly a vote in late January or February 2015.
