... What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
... And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
... I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
... You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
Another portion criticizes Bush for the war:
... How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
... How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
Those are the lyrics from Pink's "Dear Mr. President" that South Florida fifth grader Molly Shoul planned to sing in her school talent show...not so fast Molly says Park Springs Elementary principal Camille Pontillo.

The Coral Springs Florida based school principal could not be reached for comment by the reporter, an email he sent to Molly's mom said "the song Molly chose to sing is a political song and does use the word hell in it."
"This is a fifth-grade student that wants to perform a song filled with lyrics about drug use, war, abortion, gay rights and profanity," said district spokeswoman Nadine Drew. "This is an elementary school that includes kindergarteners and pre-K students."
The song does not mention abortion, and the profanity mentioned is the word "hell." The drug use refers to Bush's alleged conduct before he became president.
So what do you think Kossites? Should Molly have the same freedom of speech the rest of us are hoping to hang onto?
