Ten-year-Old Forbidden from Singing Pink’s Anti-Bush Song at School Talent Show

Has the principal, Camille Pontillo been fired yet?

Has the ACLU stepped up in support of this girl yet?

If the song has the word "hell" in it, is that a separation of church and state issue? "Hell" is, after all, a term from religion.

I think it's too bad that such repulsive looking and horribly untalented person such as PINK would even have to be discussed by any sane adults. What I'm surprised is that she's even earned a dime in the business. But all this yapping about some knuckle-headed 10-year-old is sure giving Pink lots of publicity that she'd otherwise never have gotten. Where's Faith Hill when you need her?

[jennyjenny]

Too late. He's been everywhere on here today.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street

I wonder how much money Pink has donated to charity to help the homeless or poor. I suspect very little or none at all. I'm sure her bodyguards make sure she doesn't have to even look at them on the way to the Grammys.

Now let's get this party started.

Welcome to Free Republic. I didn't know the Constitution guaranteed anyone a microphone and a captive audience funded at tax payer expense. Tell me more about what "free speech" means.

[RepoGirl]

It's still here. As far as I know, the ovens haven't been fired up. Listen up, Winklebottom: freedom of speech doesn't guarantee someone an audience.

Your right to babble your demmy-crat talking point nonsense doesn't supercede my right to ignore your stupid a$$.

By the way, welcome to the Freep and IBFZ?

[CindyDawg]

Where's Faith Hill when you need her?

Probably helping Tim run for senator or governor or something. Seems we haven't done enough to help NO.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Does Pink know that Dick Cheney's daughter is gay?

[wizardoz]

Doubtful. She obviously doesn't know a thing about Bush or his attitudes.

Too "L8" -- it's G O N E ... :-)

"Her mom, who happens to be a high school teacher in the same school district, is not happy about the outcome."

i wonder if her mom, the high school teacher, lets HER students sing whatever they want in her class. can they sing anti-kerry and anti-clinton songs?
for some reason, the article failed to explain this.

[RedBeaconNY]

I agree. I have never been zotted... you must be mistaken. And I grow increasingly disillusioned with public education by the day.

[Tired of Taxes]

Her mom, who happens to be a high school teacher in the same school district, is not happy about the outcome.

Interesting. A teacher would buy this CD for her 10yo daughter and then condone her singing it in front of other elementary school children.

Stupid leftists ignored problems with the poor and homeless during the Clinton administration. Funny, ain't it?

[muawiyah]

Nothing wrong with slapping these budding fascist deathcamp guards down before they get a start.

Stupid leftists ignored problems with the poor and homeless during the Clinton administration. Funny, ain't it?

I'm suddenly remembering Bernard Goldberg's book BIAS, particularly the chapter on How Bill Clinton Cured Homelessness!

[darkwing104]
