2021: Suspension of the publication of the textbook due to the link to the porn site found in it
In mid-September 2021, the Russian publishing house Enlightenment suspended the publication and distribution of the Spotlight English textbook for the sixth grade due to the reference to the porn site found in it.
Readers of the Pikabu website reported that in the English textbook for sixth graders of Spotlight publishing house "Enlightenment" there is a link to the porn site. One of the parents clarifies that one of the pages shows the ID card of the British porn actress Anna Smith.
 | In the chatics of the class, a nightmare is happening, parents are indignant. Of course, modern children are advanced and know a lot about it, but such links should certainly not be in school textbooks, "said the mother of a schoolboy studying on the Spotlight textbook. |  |
According to a representative of the Enlightenment publishing house, the textbook, the contents of which were complained by parents, has repeatedly undergone state examination and examinations of non-state organizations. The interlocutor added that "in the near future, the publishing house will announce the format and mechanisms for exchanging this textbook."
The Ministry of Education will check the publication, as well as revise the conclusions of experts on it. The appearance of a reference to a pornographic resource may be of a technical nature, the textbook itself will be withdrawn, and the detailed results of the audit and the conclusion of the scientific and methodological council will be published.
| | The federal list of textbooks is the most transparent system for assessing the quality of textbooks, multi-level, passing through several expert filters. Currently, all expert opinions on the textbook are being revised, and it will be withdrawn, the department added on September 13, 2021. | |
According to Fontanka, the link is found in textbooks published in 2008, 2014 and 2021. At the same time, in the latest electronic version of the textbook it is not.[1]
