A school is not a democracy.
I kinda doubt that.

Nancy Shoul said her daughter Molly should be lauded for choosing lyrics that are full of substance
Her mother should have her ambien revoked for telling her daughter that a dopey Pink song is “full of substance.”
One wonders at a parent who would do this to their child. If a person asked the child for the basis of their opinion, the child would be clueless and wouldn't know a thing, other than mouthing what mommy said. Terrible parent.
One comment only: Child abuse...
What a shame this nit of a mother doesn't understand that free speech 'rights' aren't guaranteed to a child, but to adults.
If the kid and her parents want an audience, let them rent out a hall. The kid thought it was "cool". No idea if the lyrics wee true or not, but it was "cool".
Stick with the reading writing and arithmetic.
They made her change the lyrics to 'smile baby one more time'. I'd have pulled her if it wasn't going to break her heart.
She' now 16 and I'm glad I let her perform.
Come to think about it, I don't recall a similar story during Clinton's years.......
This story will likely get a lot of play in the MSM.
Bull butter and horse feathers!
How many hundred times have have heard about kids, teachers, and parents bashing the President on school property? Then one principal deems one little Bush-bash song too political and her doofus mother gets her nighty in a knot. Give me a break.

Good. This kid's (teacher) mother should know better.
No dought the words are the childs mothers. When she is 21 she can voice her own words.
As if a 10 year old understood the meaning of the song. I doubt, as with any song, that any of her little classmates understand any of it either, nor even know 95% of the words outside the chorus. I say let her sing it. It's more likely the principal was more worried about parents twisting it around and getting in an uproar. That said, I'm also betting it was mommy dearest who suggested the song.
If she were older, you can bet she'd hear about it from her classmates. A know-it-all twerp wrote an editorial (taking the opposite side from someone, cough, whom he wanted to get back at) in the middle school newspaper here and you wouldn't believe how quickly the students put him in his place. Kids aren't dumb. Once they're old enough, they know what's what in the world and will stand up for what's right.
Hello, buy a clue.
Your daughter does not have a right to free speech. Only adults do and it is limited.
Gee whiz. This girl is 10 years old and she already knows all.
I didn't know everything until I was at least 17.
And as far as my first amendment rats those many years ago in our grade, junior or senior high schools,
Forget it.
While free speech is extremely important in a free society, our right to free speech does not guarantee us the right to a captive audience of other people's children who are being required to be there by law.
The lyrics are written for shock value rather than to inform.
The lyrics also attack using innuendo rather than facts.
If the young girl wants to take a political position, she should be encouraged to learn more about the facts of these topics and about how our system of government operates. Some of that may be beyond the capabilities of most ten year olds to really comprehend.
If she can't understand the issues the song is talking about, then she isn't exercising her free speech, she's be used as a pawn by others.
This girls mother is a complete wench. How can you train your little kid to hate so early? She belongs in the middle east with the rest of them.
