Satanic Temple Accuses Iowa Officials of Religious Discrimination
- The ACLU of Iowa has filed a complaint against the Iowa Department of Administrative Services, its director, and the Iowa governor's office, claiming religious discrimination against The Satanic Temple for a denied display application at the Iowa Capitol Rotunda.
- In 2023, The Satanic Temple's display was destroyed, and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds deemed it 'absolutely objectionable.'
- The complaint argues that the state canceled a winter celebration, stating it was 'harmful to minors' despite the group's claims of family-friendly plans.
- The Satanic Temple asserts that the state's actions aim to prevent them from enjoying the same access to the Capitol as other religions, particularly during the Christmas season.
