9th Grade Science Assignment Asks: "Who's The Daddy"?

A homework assignment that asked Michigan high school students to figure out who fathered a fictitious baby outraged one father so much that he sent the worksheet back with the note: “We teach our children not to sleep around.”
Students in a ninth-grade biology class at Romeo High School were given a homework assignment on DNA that included a question about a mother trying to determine “who the father of her baby was,” according to WDIV-TV.
The assignment said:
“The sister of the mom above also had issues with finding out who the father of her baby was. She had the state take a blood test of potential fathers. Based on the information in this table, why was the baby taken away by the state after the test?”
Possible answers in the multiple-choice question suggested the father could have been the cable guy, the mailman, the cab driver, the bartender or a guy she met at a club.
