'Fifty Shades of Grey' puzzles given to Monessen middle school students in class

MONESSEN, Pa —At least five students at a Westmoreland County middle school were given word puzzles based on the erotic novel and movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" this week, and school district officials said they are investigating how it happened.

James Carter said the word search, filled with explicit sexual terms, was passed out Monday to his son and other students in his eighth-grade class at Monessen Middle School.

"I asked my son who passed it out, and he said the teacher passed it out," Carter told said. "I don't think this is what they should be doing in the eighth-grade level."

Carter said he went to the school Tuesday afternoon but administrators wouldn't answer his questions about the word search.

At a school board meeting Tuesday night, Monessen City School District officials said they could not comment on who gave the puzzles to students, citing personnel issues.

"We just learned of this issue yesterday," solicitor John Toohey said. "An investigation will occur."

Board member Roberta Bergstedt, who was not at the meeting, said in an email that the puzzles were passed out by mistake.

School district officials would not comment on whether any teachers or staff have been disciplined.

folks do not like it

but nothing will be done about it, nothing is ever done about it

it is happening all over America, even in small southern towns

the perverts have access to the kids and they will never relent

Savini pumped a bunch of money into Monessen. He bought up and remodeled a lot of old buildings. I see him once in a while walking down the street in Monessen but he is not a friendly guy.

not a mindless idiot..... just someone with a pathetically desperate need to be one of the cool kids.

I grew out of that around Jr. High. Some people don't.

It’s easy to create these (and other) word puzzles, using free, on-line puzzle makers. Here’s one comprising screen names from this thread (note: this particular puzzle maker treats numbers as spaces — so, if your handle includes a number, the number won’t be in the letter array.

Here’s a link to this puzzle maker (there are many others):

passed out by mistake???

Why were they in the school in the first place. Who ever brought them in should be punished just as should the teacher who distributed them. Find out what the teacher’s goal or motive was in doing so.

Why aren't there hundreds of parents storming this school and demanding answers now, not "after an investigation?" We know the class, someone MUST be able to link the teacher, we have evidence of the "puzzle" and we know the principal. These people work for you, taxpayers!

Geesh. That link is...uh...whoa.

Little Susie: "UncaBill, what's 'sodomy'?"

BtD: "Oh, it's just what some people from a place named Sodom did."

Little Susie: "Oh. Then is there a place named Fellatia?"

It will be interesting to see how the numbers go for FSG in general distribution. I don’t see a lot of demand for S&M fantasies, but I’m not much of a movie person. [I haven’t been to one in 15 years.] I hope FSG flops and flops BIG time.

That pervert of a teacher who gave the FSG puzzle to kids needs to have been fired yesterday. What a piece of pond scum.

Cut off the oxygen of the teacher who passed this out until the conclusion of the investigation.

FYI - Another reason...

BTW, I just found out that a respected teacher at our town’s middle school is serving prison time for abuse of a large number of students. So glad I always homeschooled.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

One more sharp stick to the eye. It is to probe and provoke, then wait and see.

It will disappear with time, there will be no real consequence, all outrage is for show.

Sowing the seeds of discontent and perversion, our professionally educated army of subversives marches on.

Monassen is a small town. It should be pretty easy to find out which teacher passed them out. I’d bet that teacher is a tenured, over-educated nut bag.

Clicking on the teacher pages at The Monassen Middle School faculty pages I am surprised by the number of men teaching there. However, the language arts and reading teachers are women....
