BYU Law Professor TRIES to Defend Mormon Polygamy — And Accidentally DESTROYS Her Own Ethics
How do I reconcile polygamy as a BYU law professor?”
Short answer: you don’t—unless you’re willing to abandon logic, ethics, and historical honesty.
In this video, I break down a jaw-dropping apologetic performance in which a law professor attempts to “reconcile” Mormon polygamy using legal standing, moral relativism, and theological hand-waving—all while ignoring the documented trauma inflicted on women and girls.
We examine:
Why invoking legal standing to avoid moral judgment is intellectual malpractice
How D&C 132 functions as coercion, not revelation
Why “temporary commandment” is just a euphemism for sanctioned abuse
The grotesque age gaps and underage marriages leaders justified as divine
The bait-and-switch from evidence to feelings when facts become inconvenient
How “trusting Jesus” becomes an excuse for abandoning critical thinking
This isn’t about being judgmental.
It’s about whether moral reasoning survives contact with institutional loyalty.
If your theology requires minimizing abuse, silencing victims, and suspending basic ethical instincts, the problem isn’t the questions—it’s the system.
No demons.
No adversary.
No faith-based escape hatches.
Just history, logic, and moral accountability.
