Satanic Temple launches after school program in Illinois
Children at an Illinois elementary school are learning the essentials for a quality education. Reading, writing, and lessons about Satan. According to parents a new after school club has been started by the local satanic temple. Parents complained after flyers promoting the club were distributed at Jane Addams School in Moline, Illinois. The school club according to the promotion emphasizes science, nationalism, and a non-superstitious world view. The club is run by “volunteer teachers.” Parents took to social media to protest the club being on a school campus. The school district says they do not discriminate against any group that wishes to rent their facilities and clubs are attended by choice, not by force. The district claimed the club’s approval was based on them allowing an Evangelical Christian club. Because this club was allowed other religious groups must be allowed to have clubs as well. Matt Staver founder of Liberty Counsel says this group is run by atheists using the club as a disruption to schools.
Countries continue to drop covid restrictions
Several nations are announcing the end of their covid protocol or relaxing these rules. Protests around the world have become common place following outright discrimination against those who have not received the Covid shot.

Several places including Canada, and here in the U.S. are still experiencing protests by citizens pushing for restrictions to be lifted.

SNBC Health report: exercising 10 minutes a day still shows benefits
exercising just 10 minutes a day is considered beneficial to your health. Most health experts advise at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week, but if that is not an option researchers find at least 10 minutes a day can still be a benefit to the human body. Researchers found at least 10 minutes of vigorous exercise each day boosts mood and helps with cognitive function. It also protects joints and builds strength even in a limited amount of time. Exercising for at least ten minutes a day also helped study subjects sleep better, reduce stress and they were still able to see benefits concerning weight management. There are similar benefits that are acquired from increasing exercise time each week. The study was conducted to prove even the smallest amount of time still benefits the human body when it comes to movement.
