The watchdog group Homeschoolers Anonymous alerts us today to a string of Facebook posts from Rick Boyer, the author of the Quiverfull book “Take Back The Land,” which was endorsed by America’s most famous Quiverfull patriarch, Jim Bob Duggar, defending the Duggar family’s handling of reported sexual abuse by their eldest son Josh.

“‘Abuse’ is the new ‘racism,’” writes Boyer, who is also a board member of Home Educators Association of Virginia. “As soon as you’re accused of it, you’re 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?”

Of course, Josh Duggar has admitted to sexually abusing young girls when he was a minor and his parents have admitted that he did not receive counseling but instead went to live briefly with a family friend.

“Do you hear Josh’s sisters railing against him? Not, it’s not the victims howling for scalps, it’s pagans and gullible Christians, eagerly grabbing the bait and shooting their own wounded,” he continues.

Boyer also defends Bill Gothard, a conservative activist closely linked to the Duggar family who is the focus of a different abuse scandal.
