The Satanic Temple Protects Children in Round Rock, Texas

The Satanic Temple's Protect Children Project has just put the Round Rock Independent School District in Texas on notice, after video footage surfaced showing a student being violently thrown into a "calm down room", sustaining an injury to the head. No student deserves this type of brutal punishment and the Protect Children Project's mission is to shield all TST student members from physical and psychological abuse in school. An official letter has been sent to the Round Rock ISD superintendent and district school board, notifying them that all current and future TST student members are exempt from corporal punishment, seclusion, restraint, and denial of bathroom access, as all of these punishments violate their religious belief in bodily autonomy. To ignore this will open the door to civil and possibly criminal liabilities. Similar letters were also sent to the Thompson School District in Colorado and the Greene County Tech School District in Arkansas, at the request of TST student members in those areas. If you are a TST member experiencing physical or psychological abuse in school or simply want to take preemptive action, contact us at pcp@thesatanictemple.com, and we will put your school district on notice.
