One of Monika Bialostocka’s twin daughters brought home a book assigned as part of her English curriculum that graphically depicted pedophilia between a 64-year-old woman and a 10-year-old boy, according to an original report last week in Independent Women’s Features, the grassroots journalism arm of Independent Women’s Forum. The incident occurred in Spring 2023.
When Bialostocka questioned the teacher and school administrators at New Mexico School for the Arts, the school refused to remove the book, “Everything is Illuminated” by Jonathan Foer, from the curriculum. Instead, it alerted parents that some books may contain controversial content, according to author of the report Andrea Mew.
