A satanic club will now be an option for students at a Portland, Oregon, elementary school.

On Tuesday, the Parkrose School District formally approved Satanic Portland's petition to launch a club at Sacramento Elementary School.

The Satanic Temple has been targeting schools with Good News Clubs, which are sponsored by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, an organization whose purpose is to "evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."

One of the leaders of the Satanic Temple said their program focuses "on science and rational thinking," and will promote "benevolence and empathy for everybody."

Oregon will be the first state in the United States to approve satanic after school programs in public schools.

The national Satanic Temple's After School Satan Clubs (ASSC) program has also been proposed for schools in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Tucson, Washington, D.C., as well as Springfield, Missouri, and Pensacola, Florida.
