CHESAPEAKE, Va. — We're seeing new developments between the city of Chesapeake and a controversial after-school club.
The Satanic Temple shared on social media that Thursday's meeting of the 'After School Satan Club' at Indian River Library had been canceled by the city.
Club leaders believe this is unconstitutional.
The city says their policies require groups to assure that events don't pose a threat to public health, safety or welfare. Their full response can be found below.
"The City has adopted uniform policies and user agreements which set forth the requirements, parameters, and expectations necessary to assure that events do not pose a threat to public health, safety or welfare or otherwise disrupt City operations. Individuals or organizations failing to comply with these polices and/or agreements are subject to having their facility usage cancelled by the City."
City leaders wouldn't say how this meeting violated those policies.
They say they sent specific details to the Satan Club, but would not share those elsewhere.
We've reached out to the Satan Club for comment and have not heard back.
