Plaque in Minnesota Capitol Thanks Governor Tim Walz for “Allowing the Spread of Satanism”

A satanic plaque displayed in the Minnesota State Capitol is thanking Governor Tim Walz for “allowing the spread of Satanism.”

The plaque, from a group calling itself the “Democrat Coalition of Satan Worshippers,” reads: “The Democrat Coalition of Satan Worshippers thanks Gov. Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the state Capitol building. Satan has a special place for you.”

CBN reports Minnesota State Representative Pam Altendorf discovered the display on the ground floor of the Capitol building and shared video of it on social media. The plaque was originally installed last April and was supposed to be temporary. However, the plaque has remained in place.

This isn’t the first time satanic groups have targeted government buildings with controversial displays. The Satanic Temple, for example, has a long history of stirring up controversy around the the country — including in Arkansas.

In 2023, the Satanic Temple placed pro-abortion billboards across Arkansas claiming “Abortions Save Lives.” The group has also opposed Arkansas’ Ten Commandments monument at the State Capitol and even parked a 7½-foot statue of the satanic figure baphomet on a trailer in front of the Arkansas Capitol Building in 2018 after state leaders refused to place the statue on the Capitol lawn permanently.

Arkansans should be grateful that our state leaders have consistently stood against satanic displays like the one in Minnesota. Arkansas has maintained strong protections for religious liberty while refusing to yield to groups that simply want to mock and offend. That is something we should not take for granted.
