TEXTBOOKS used in Indonesian elementary schools have been withdrawn after they were found to contain a story about an erotic encounter in a brothel, an official said yesterday.
Outraged parents in the conservative, Muslim-majority country complained their children were being exposed to "porn" after the discovery of the tale entitled "The Shepherd Boy and Wolf Mother."
The story, in Indonesian language reading books being used by 11-year-olds, is about a man overcome with lust when he meets a woman at a brothel selling sex to support her child.
"In the dimly lit place where women sell their bodies, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down upon seeing the beauty of the woman," read the story.
"She trembled in the arms of the man, and just like the fluorescent lights in the room, she felt that she herself was on fire."
The text was lifted from a blog and reprinted in the textbooks, bought by schools in Bogor, a city on the outskirts of Jakarta, from street stalls for around US$3.
Parents complained to local authorities, who responded by sending out a letter ordering schools not to use the book.
"The story read like a porn story," a parent named Ajwar, told the Jakarta Globe newspaper.
A spokesman for the city authorities said schools bought the book of their own accord.
