Elizabeth Lauten is one of history’s greatest monsters. At least, that’s what I read in the papers.
What did Lauten do? She wrote some critical things on her personal Facebook page about the president’s daughters (she didn’t like the way they were dressed for a White House Thanksgiving event). Putting aside the excruciatingly dull ethical question of how we should treat Facebook posts — are they public? are they private? is this topic so boring it will encourage people to cut themselves? — I guess she shouldn’t have written what she wrote. Or maybe she should have. The truth is I just can’t muster the energy to care very much.
