The "Sandusky Spirit" in Education has comes out of hiding...
Students at a middle school in Monessen, Pennsylvania, were given "Fifty Shades of Grey" word-search puzzles to solve.
MONESSEN, Pa. (AP) —
Parents in a Pennsylvania school district are turning 50 shades of red
over word search puzzles given to middle school students based on an
erotic novel and movie.
The students in Monessen were given puzzles based on "Fifty Shades of Grey" that contained terms including "spanking," ''submissive," ''leather cuffs" and "bondage." Other words on the list were more explicit.

Parent James Carter complained about it at
Tuesday night's school board meeting, saying he tried to question the
school's principal and dean of students, but they refused to talk when
he insisted on recording their conversation.
"I wanted to record the conversation because a
lot of parents had questions about it, and I was denied that," Carter
told the board.
Monessen district officials said at the meeting
that they couldn't discuss the issue because they just learned about it
Monday. Superintendent Leanne Spazak said the circumstances of the
puzzle are under investigation.
One school board member who didn't attend the said the puzzle was a big mistake.
"It was a huge but unintentional error and
collected from the five students involved as soon as it was realized,"
Roberta Bergstedt wrote in an email. "Unfortunately one copy was taken
by a student who then posted it on social media."
The movie opens in theaters Friday. It's based on
a best-selling book by E.L. James about a college student and her
torrid affair with a 27-year-old billionaire with a penchant for
bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.
