The Garnet Valley School District is the second school district in Delaware County to alter its dress code, deleting a ban on Satanic or cult clothing following lobbying efforts by Satanic Delco.

The dress code used to prohibit clothing that had satanic/cult references, writes Victor Fiorillo for Philadelphia Magazine.

But the updated dress code for the 2022-23 school year no longer includes “satanic/cult references” as prohibited.

Satanic Delco is an “independent Satanic congregation” that formed in 2020.

They first approached the Rose Tree Media School District. The group argued that the dress code discriminated against Satanist. Rather than incur a legal battle, the Rose Tree Media School District just removed the prohibition.

Satanic Delco next targeted Garnet Valley.

“Garnet Valley students are now free to express their Satanism on equal footing, alongside their fellow students of every other religion,” a representative of Satanic Delco said in a statement. “Thank you to those at the school district who eventually made the right choice to remove the discriminatory language.”

Satanic Delco does not worship Satan. One of its tenets is that “the freedom of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend.”
