A Pennsylvania high school is apologizing after students were given a math homework assignment that asked which family member had sexually assaulted a girl.
The question provided a math formula and asked: 鈥淎ngelou was sexually abused by her mother鈥檚 ___ at age 8, which shaped her career choices and motivation for writing.鈥� Pennridge High students needed to use the formula before deciding whether the answer was boyfriend, brother, or father.
The Pennridge district said the assignment was 鈥渄ownloaded from a website that allows teachers around the world to share educational resources.鈥� Officials said steps have been taken to make sure it never happens again.
