A teacher in Monroe, NY apparently used an x-rated font on a third grade spelling packet, which was handed out to parents. 

Officials with the Monroe-Woodbury School District in Orange County apologized last week after parents at Pine Tree Elementary School were given the spelling packet at an open house.

Administrators said the teacher did not use the font intentionally.

The article only described the font as "male and female stick figures in provocative poses to form the letters of the alphabet."  Digg user, JamesWilson, makes a guess and thinks groupsex might be the font used.

You have to wonder what the teacher was thinking.

Being the font freak that I am, I thought Typetester is a great new site that lets you compare different screen types side by side. You can type in your own text, choose up to three different fonts to compare, and format each paragraph of text in a variety of ways. Check it out--It's a handy tool!
