http://www.salon.com/2015/05/29/quiverfull_author_defends_duggar_family_in_series_of_unhinged_rants_should_they_have_skinned_josh_alive/A conservative Quiverfull writer with ties to the Duggars has come out swinging in defense of the 19 Kids & Counting stars, posting a series of outraged Facebook posts praising the family in spite of an ongoing sexual abuse scandal.
In the posts, which were first cited by watchdog group Homeschoolers Anonymous, homeschooling activist Rick Boyer also the author of the Jim Bob Duggar-endorsed book Take Back the Land asserted that the reality-show family appropriately handled allegations of incest and assault by eldest son Josh Duggar, and that they do not deserve to be criticized.
Abuse is the new racism, Boyer, who also sits on the board of the Home Educators Association of Virginia, wrote. As soon as youre accused of it, youre considered guilty. Just what would you like the Duggars to have done? Turn all their kids over to a godless psychologist? Maybe one supplied by the local public school system where abuse is so unheard of? Should they have skinned Josh alive, rolled him in salt and hung him on a meathook?

With more than one victim Josh should have been removed from the home and all of the attention turned to caring for the needs if the victims.

They should have turned him in to the appropriate authorities and let the chips fall where they may. Maybe some time in the happy old hoosegow or a mental hospital could have straightened him out.
