No. The Satanic Temple gets nothing but a slightly more fair country. The lawyers get 200k.
Satanic Temple article: https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/news/saucon-valley-district-settles-over-after-school-satan-club-ban-amid-school-board-election-losses-tied-to-financially-wasteful-ego-driven-legal-melodramas
ACLU article: https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/pennsylvania-school-district-agrees-to-pay-200000-after-discriminatory-decision-to-block-after-school-satan-club-from-school-facilities
The settlement (on ACLU's website): https://www.aclu.org/cases/the-satanic-temple-v-saucon-valley-school-district?document=Settlement-Agreement-TST-v-SVSD
So the $200k is indeed going to lawyers, however those lawyers are the ACLU. Meanwhile, the Satanic Temple "gets nothing but a slightly more fair country". And $1.
$1 which is apparently not an admission of wrongdoing 🙄
Which they are entitled to, and should have been from the beginning.
