A controversial group looks to to join school chaplain program under proposed OK legislation

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - An Oklahoma Senate Bill could allow chaplains in public schools, which may include ministers with The Satanic Temple if signed into law.

Senate Bill 36 would allow public schools in the state to hire religious chaplains to counsel and work with their students. Recently updated language to the bill says public schools could “employ or accept one or more volunteer chaplains” to counsel and support students, as long as they get approval from their district’s school board.
