PERKASIE, Pa. – A math teacher at Pennridge High School wants students to figure out who sexually abused Angelou with she was 8 years old.

The question, centered on the novel “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou, appeared on a math lesson that was posted online Thursday.

It read:

Angelou was sexually abused by her mother’s ____ at age 8, which shaped her career choices and motivation for writing.

The lesson provided the equations y = x + 2 and 3x + 6y = 12, with the possible answers of (0,2) for boyfriend, (4,6) for brother and (-3,-1) for father, and asked students to “Solve each system of equation by substitution.”

Of course the question didn’t sit well with parents, one of which posted an image of the assignment to Twitter under the account Pennridge Reform.

“Really?” the post read. “@PennridgeSD has good staff but some are terrible. This is what some low-grade staff thinks is ok to put on a test @PennridgeHS.”

The image was focused on question three, but the problem below it, question 5, was also interesting.

“Trying to support her son as a single mother she worked as a pimp, prostitute and _____,” it read, providing the possible answers of “Bookie,” “Drug Dealer” and “Night Club Dancer.”

“What the f***?” Wilson Frontier responded to the post. “Is this for real? My God!”

“I’m OUTRAGED. YOU SHOULD BE TOO,” user “stepharrific” added. “What the hell is going on in this district?!”

“#5 doesn’t look good either,” LaToya Robinson wrote. “What kind of math ?s are these.”

Another Pennridge mother, who goes by KMKANDOIT on Twitter, posted a picture of a written response she received from officials at the Pennridge School District when she complained.

“@PennridgeReform heres the snapshot of the reply I received after contacting,” she wrote. “No consequences for this whatsoever for this … NONE.”

“We have received a number of complaints from parents and members of the community regarding a recent high school math homework assignment which contained adult content without proper context,” the statement read. “The homework worksheet in question was downloaded from a website that allows teachers around the world to share educational resources. It is not part of our approved curriculum.

“We apologize to anyone who was offended by the content of the assignment and have then steps to avoid such occurrences in the future.”

District officials offered the exact same statement to CBS Philadelphia.
