The Satanic Temple of Iowa is planning to file a lawsuit after their holiday event was cancelled by a public venue. The group had rented space at the Valley Community Center in West Des Moines to host a holiday event, featuring a display and a visit from a performer dressed as Santa. However, the venue cancelled the event last minute, citing concerns about the controversial nature of the group’s activities. The Satanic Temple of Iowa believes the cancellation violates their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. They plan to take legal action against the venue for discrimination. The group has faced backlash in the past for their controversial beliefs and activities, including advocating for the separation of church and state and challenging the display of religious symbols in public spaces. Despite opposition, the Satanic Temple of Iowa remains committed to fighting for their rights and promoting their beliefs.
