Like it or not, TG is held up as the standard for all SG's students. So when she does something in poor taste, it's going to be noticed. Whether you thought it was funny, representation of drug use by an 11-year old is in poor taste. Racist jokes are in poor taste also, yet some people laugh at them and think they are funny; but that doesn't make them acceptable. It's a matter of being held to a higher standard when you set yourself up as a role model. Bad decision on SG's part to have ANYONE, her daughter or someone else's,do that. It's tacky and tasteless. -- ORIGINAL PMS BOARD

Re: Ok, I see what you are saying, but tell me why this standard she is supposed to be living by isn't applicable for the people trashing her and her daughter? (NT) -- Valid question., 13:34:32 07/02/02 Tue
- Standards for acceptable behavior should apply to everyone. SG made a poor decision in having her "star" do that onstage. Some of the comments on this have been way out of line, but many of them have merely expressed shock that a "respected" coach would find that particular routine acceptable. One can express disapproval without being a basher. SG simply made a bad decision; as anyone in the pageant world knows, when you goof up in public, you WILL be criticized for it. Criticism, in my opinion, is quite justified in this instance, but bashing on a personal level, is not. There's a difference. (NT) -- Two wrongs don't make a right, but if you are "high-profile", your mistakes are magnified., 14:10:35 07/02/02 Tue
  - Re: Magnified is one thing, but out right being hateful and hurtful are as unacceptable as anything she has done. She may be in an elevated position, but she is still human. (NT) -- a GG mom, 18:14:56 07/02/02 Tue
    - She's human and she did something stoopid; same as the director who gave out plastic eggs or the one who had Jenny Jones at her pagaent, or any other number of people who have done stoopid things and been unmercifully bashed for it, by GG moms and non-GG moms alike. So why do you think SG deserves better treatment than everyone else who screws up? (NT) -- She's human, just like everyone else who gets trashed on these boards. What goes around comes around., 20:05:12 07/02/02 Tue
      - Re: She isn't above it, but who says bashing is the right thing to do? All bashing is wrong. My biggest problem is all the bashing of her daughter! You are as low as any criminal when you bash a child. No matter if the parent is wrong or right. (NT) -- A concerned mom, 22:52:51 07/02/02 Tue
