![]() ![]() “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,” a school spokesperson said in a statement. ![]() Officials at Pittsburgh Liberty Elementary have not announced how they will handle the situation with the educator, but the assignment has been taken down. She said she plans to keep a close eye on her daughter’s assignments moving forward. “I’m more bothered that myself as well as other parents whose children have seen this have to explain to their kids how important it is not to do this,” Grant told WPXI. The book, titled "Creepy Pair of Underwear,” follows the story of a young rabbit who tries to convince his mother that he’s old enough to graduate to more mature underwear, specifically a glow-in-the-dark pair of underpants with a Frankenstein-inspired design. The book is about two fourth-grade students, George and Harold, and their comic book hero Captain Underpants. When Grant called Pittsburgh Liberty Elementary School to voice her concerns, the principal apologized and said a librarian posted the assignment after reading a Halloween-inspired children’s book to the second graders. ![]()
