HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO

The parents of five Gwinnett County teens are still shaking their heads in disbelief after the girls found themselves abruptly suspended from school for singing a Spice Girls song.

Not only that, they were also barred from going to their graduation celebration.

The 8th graders at Five Forks Middle School are just days away from their big end-of-the-year celebration. But straight-A student Rachel Lowe won’t be there. Neither will four of her closest friends.

The five are being punished for singing a song that every “tween” in the world knows by heart -- “Wannabe” by The Spice Girls.

The girls got a standing ovation from the crowd, but an in-school suspension from the principal.

“When school came the following Monday morning, the principal pulled the five girls in and was very angry at them, and told them that they ruined the talent show and that she wanted to get up on the stage and **** the microphone out of their hands,” said mother Raylene Lowe.

The issue is over one word that the principal thought inappropriate -- lover.

The parents say the lyrics are, at best, G-rated bubble gum. Now, what they want, what they really-really want, is for the school to allow the girls to go to their class party.

“To take away their 8th grade celebration -- which is one of their few socials they've had in the three years that she's been there -- I thought that was very harsh,” Lowe said.

School officials say the girls were told to change the lyrics, but the kids say that's not true, and that it shouldn't be a crime for nice girls to sing The Spice Girls.

Gwinnett County school officials declined to respond on camera, saying that the school's principal and faculty are allowed to decide what lyrics are inappropriate.
