Jacob Marley's Lesson

  "I wear the chain I forged in life. I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you?” Jacob Marley's Ghost in A Christmas Carol

MSU Professor Elizabeth Dudash-Buskirk's eternal soul is in trouble. While she claims to be a Christian, she nevertheless promotes salacious (her own term) books for minors in the Christian County Library. One such book was quoted from at the December board of trustees meeting: Sex Plus. Here is a review of the book: Sex Plus is a Youth Book in Nixa by David Rice--but before you visit the review, here is what Dudash-Buskirk said about it in a recent Facebook post:

"First, we had David Rice who first prayed, then read law, then engaged a salacious YA book that described pretty accurately the common teen experience of masturbation, questions about sexual guidelines or what is normal."

Now, try to square that with the book review by Rice. The book contains subheadings like "Strap-ons," "Cleaning Sex Toys," "Prostate Massager," "Butt Plugs and Anal Beads,"Vibrators," "Visiting the Sex Shop," and more than you can imagine.

Now according to the Catholic Church, of which Dudash-Buskirk claims to be a member, masturbation is a sin against the Sixth Commandment. Protestants of different types are on the fence, but in general, masturbation is frowned upon. Viewing pornography is almost a given with masturbation.

Promoting books like Sex Plus (which is written for ages 12-17), is a sin against God and an attack on children. Claiming to be a Christian as a way of virtue signaling while violating its precepts is also a sin.

Professor Dudash-Buskirk also claims to be a free speech advocate. But if it is speech she personally objects to, her thought is that it must be controlled, suppressed, and censored. In her own words (click on the image for clarity):

One can see the confusion, which is a hallmark of the demonic. I wrote about it HERE. Professor Dudash-Buskirk does not want books like Sex Plus exposed to the public. It makes her job of interpreting "free speech" rights look downright satanic (and it is). According to her, quoting salacious books in a public library meeting is unacceptable, as is prayer speech. But one must never question a child's "freedom to read" a salacious book that some book publisher or librarian or the American Library Assocation has deemed acceptable.

Enough.

Beginning around the 3:20 minute mark (it should be prompted), you can listen to Rice's comments and then Professor Dudash-Buskirk. Listen for yourself and decide which individual is seeking to protect children and preserve parental rights.

The chains one forges in life will continue afterwards. Ebenezer Scrooge saw the light before it was too late, unlike his business associate Jacob Marley. My prayer is that those who support exposing children to highly-charged sexualization will see the light before they too are weighed down with the chains of sin un-confessed and un-forsaken.
