Oklahoma HS Geometry Teacher Assigns Class Problems Relating To Serial Killers
TULSA - What does serial killer Ted Bundy have to do with geometry?
That's what one Tulsa mother wants to know.
When Christina Mattaliano looked over her son's geometry homework Monday, she got quite a surprise when she came across a couple of questions on two hand-written assignments.
Bundy, along with another man who likes to spy on his neighbors, were used as examples in two questions.
"I was shocked," said Mattaliano.
The principal at Nathan Hale High School, Caleb Starr, confirms the assignments were created by a male substitute teacher.
The question that references Bundy asks students to measure his ladder.
