Censorship history
In 2025, "A History of Racism in America" by Craig E. Blohm was banned at various school levels across the United States, particularly in states like Texas and Florida, due to its political content and discussions surrounding race and colonialism. The bans were often initiated by local Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) and school board votes, reflecting a growing trend of challenges against educational materials addressing systemic racism. In some instances, formal complaints were filed by conservative advocacy groups, leading to heated debates in school board meetings, but the outcomes varied, with some districts upholding the bans while others chose to reinstate the book after community pushback.
