GA girls suspended for singing Spice Girls song (over the word "lover")

[deadparrot]

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