A Pittsburgh mother is very upset after her 7-year-old daughter received a questionable homework assignment online.

Her daughter is in second grade at Pittsburgh Liberty in Shadyside. She told Channel 11 while she was helping her daughter with her homework, one of her assignments asked her child to “post a picture of your creepy underwear” online.

The mother said it was disturbing, inappropriate and now demands the teacher be fired.


She reached out to Channel 11 to warn other parents what happened.

“I’m upset about it. I don’t want my daughter engaged in anything, uploading anything personal to the internet," said Briahna Grant. “I was so angry I took pictures of it.”

The assignment asked students to post a photo or describe their underwear.

Grant immediately called the school and said the principal apologized and told her the librarian posted the assignment after reading the children a book for Halloween.

Channel 11′s Jillian Hartmann took her concerns to Pittsburgh Public Schools for an explain on why this happened. District officials issued the following statement:

“The District is aware of a questionable activity assigned by an educator as part of a class reading of the Halloween themed book Creepy Pair of Underwear. The assignment has been removed, and the incident is currently under review. As this is a personnel matter, no further information is available.”

Grant immediately called the school and said the principal apologized and told her the librarian posted the assignment after reading the children a book for Halloween.

How the fuck is that an explanation? I sure hope the parent didn't accept it.

Why did you choose to get an electric car instead of the pickup you've been talking about?

The civil war in East Timor is heating up.

Cant wait till some weirdo educator asks 2nd graders to write gay Santa erotica after they read Santas Husband in a few weeks.

Telling seven year olds to post pics of their underwear online is not a "questionable activity", it's a kiddy fiddler in plain sight. I'd be checking that person's hard drive.

There are a bunch of readings of this book on YouTube.

Spoiler: Summary of Creepy Underwear

bunny kid goes to shop with mom
succumbs to marketing and buys a pair of "creepy underwear"
when he goes to bed, his dad offers to keep the light on
the little bunny insists to turn it off because he's a "big bunny"
at night the underwear glows
it scares him so he swaps them for a different pair
he wakes up the next day and the creepy underwear are on him again
doesn't tell his parents insisting he's a "big bunny"
he mails the underwear to China (wat)
they get returned from China with chopsticks
the bunny cuts up the underwear with his mom's sewing shears
it seems like the underwear was gone for good
but then they show up in the bathroom
bunny takes the underwear to a hill and buries it in a deep hole
he feels guilty, misses the glow of his underpants
the bunny exhumes the creepy underwear and takes it back home
he goes back to the store and buys all of the creepy underwear and decorates his room with it

I like old childrens books from my childhood. Most often they'd teach something (e.g. days of the week, words for texture) or help kids in overcoming a fear or anxiety (e.g. dealing with an older sibling, finding something to do when it's rainy outside, etc.)

I don't think new children's book authors usually have bad intentions. I think this book was supposed to be a little "age-appropriate" horror story, but the whole time the book has the little bunny hiding his fear from his mom and dad because "He's a big bunny - he's brave and not scared!" There isn't a moment where the bunny talks to his parents about his issue and ends up handling it himself. Then going out alone, unsupervised to buy more of the thing that scared him in the first place.

It kinda rubs me the wrong way. Ugh.

Well, we had it coming with the advent of digital classes. The only saving grace is that the kids can't be physically molested.

Her daughter is in second grade ... part of a class reading of the Halloween themed book Creepy Pair of Underwear.

Has education actually regressed this much? When I was in 2nd grade, my teacher read A Wrinkle in Time to us.

Ok the assignment .akes sense in the context of reading the Childrens book "Creepy lair of Underwear" But now some deeper questions should be asked about the book and whether it is appropriate?

I used to think pedophiles were all over hollywood...

but I was wrong, they are all over our educational system to.

Shit like this is why Im having my boy or girl being homeschooled, I dont give a fuck.

Sometimes the """context""" doesnt justify it, this is one of those cases.

That at the very least earns an investigation, especially from his computer...(and I would hurry before he tears off the hard drive and smash it to pieces before flushing the pieces down the toilet one by one)

This is like having kids read Captain Underpants and then having an assignment like “post your underwear superhero costume online”.

What. The. Fuck.

I loved reading that when I was a little shit...

But in retrospect, I love how being a kid is not noticing how the setup of two boys hypnotizing their principal to strip to his undies is extremely eye brow raising. Guess in your head shit like that is hilarious cuz "hah hah, undies", the darker thoughts never creep in when you have truly have seen how sick this world is.

Public schools have literally 100 times more sex pests than that of the Catholic Church.

And yet I dont seen people wishing to cancel and wishing to launch investigations against our educational system...


10 teachers molest children, nobody panics
1 single "priest" molests a child and suddenly everyone is losing their minds (and putting their fedoras on)
