(Facebook)
Lauten
criticized the girls and their parents after the annual White House
Turkey pardon ceremony which was part of the recently concluded
Thanksgiving celebration.
She wrote:
“Dear
Sasha and Malia, I get you’re both in those awful teen years, but
you’re a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least
respect the part you play.”
“Then again
your mother and father don’t respect their positions very much, or the
nation for that matter, so I’m guessing you’re coming up a little short
in the ‘good role model’ department.”
“Nevertheless,
stretch yourself. Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White
House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. And certainly don’t make faces during televised public events.”
Lauten later apologized for the criticism on Facebook:
“I
reacted to an article and quickly judged the two young ladies in a way
that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager.”
“After
many hours of prayer, talking to my parents and re-reading my words
online, I can see more clearly how hurtful my words were. Please know
that these judgmental feelings truly have no place in my heart.”
“Furthermore,
I'd like to apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended with
my words, and pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I have) from
this experience.”
The apology came after many criticized Lauten on social media with some calling for her resignation.
It's absolutely Wrong, resignation is the best for Elizabeth. She need further training in her field and role. Obama Girls are modest in dressing, very good for their age.
