A teacher at Pennridge High School in Pennsylvania gave students an assignment that included biographical snippets from the life of poet Maya Angelou. Some people are upset.
From Detroit News:
The assignment focused on Maya Angelou and her autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." It provided a math formula that asked: "Angelou was sexually abused by her mother's ——— at age 8, which shaped her career choices and motivation for writing." Pennridge High School students needed to use the formula before deciding whether the answer was boyfriend, brother or father.
