Demoniacs in the Halls of Academia

Imagine paying $79,000 a year to have someone teach you about sexual bondage, domination, and gay sadomasochism—and that a formally Christian school.

Yet, that is exactly what is going on at Princeton University, where it offers a class entitled: “Black + Queer in Leather: Black Leather/BDSM Material Culture.”

Tiona McClodden: Your Professor

The course is taught by a college drop-out by the name of Tiona Nekkia McClodden, a black lesbian who the Leftist media has lauded as “as one of the most singular artists of our aesthetically rich, free-range time.”

But, that’s not all, as courses like McClodden’s are being taught all across America, many of which are infected with Critical Race Theory (CRT) exponents.((See “Queering God” and “How to Be a Bitch”: Here Are Just A Few of the Craziest Courses Universities Offered in 2023” by Brandon Poulter at Daily Caller News Foundation, January 1, 2024.))

To call them “crazy” would be an understatement.

To call them demonic, taught by demoniacs, would be more apropos.

A case-in-point would be the Princeton course and the description it offers about it.

Black Queer BDSM material culture resists contextualization in relationship to biographical narratives because of the underground elements of the community. This course will explore the material culture of this community from three perspectives: Architecture + Location, Visual Artists and Exhibitions, and Black Queer BDSM communities with a significant research focus on finding and presenting new materials. We will consider the fragility of archival engagement with these communities by surveying existing BDSM archives in research libraries, community groups, and individuals and their personal ephemera.

In other words, the course is a moving target that defies context, because of the “underground elements of the community.”

And just what are those underground elements? Only Tiona McClodden might know for sure.

But, when it comes to the homosexual community, bondage, domination, and sadomasochism, the abyss is the limit; and the most sinister part is that student participation is likely to be part of the so-called “research.”

It is a sick, sick world that the Halls of Academia have sunk into, where what was once considered an “abomination” to God—as well as  in the minds of great theologians and professors like B.B. Warfield, Charles Hodge, and J. Gresham Machen, at schools like Princeton—has now become of vital, if not prurient, interest to those whose voices need to be heard.

The demoniacs and their sycophants are such an oppressed class, don’t you know?

The apostle Paul warned “that in the latter times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings [doctrines] of demons….” (1 Tim. 4:1).

Although he probably did not have the kind of demonism in mind that is being taught at Princeton (“Black + Queer in Leather”), the University of Chicago (“Queering God”), and Davidson College (“Latinx Sexual Dissidence and Guerrilla Translation”), et al, to equate his warning with what is going on today is not a far stretch.

All Paul needed were those willing to fork over $79,000 a year to pay for the indoctrination.
