Help Support New Kenyan Humanist Group so No One Else is Kicked Out of School for “Devil Worship”
August 1, 2015
by Hemant Mehta
Innocent Odeny is the President of the first-of-its-kind Humanist Society of Kenya and he’s trying to raise awareness of skepticism in a place where bullshit runs rampant.
In fact, one of his friends received this letter from the private school he attended, kicking him out for the crime of “devil worship”:
The above mentioned student has been accused of involving himself with devil worship. Since this is not accepted in the school he/she has been given to the parent to look for rehabilitation and spiritual counseling until he/she reforms. The parent is free to keep on updating the school on the progress of the child to the school chaplain and counseling teacher.
…Certificate of a pastor who has counseled him/her or the rehabilitation centre will be required for further deliberations. Faking repentence will be blamed on the pastor responsible or the rehabilitation center.
