Censorship history
In 2025, "Angels" by Patricia D. Netzley was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns over its discussions of religious themes and the portrayal of angels. Notably, a formal complaint was filed by a local parent group in the Springfield School District, leading to a school board vote that resulted in the book's removal from the curriculum. The ban has faced ongoing challenges from advocates for academic freedom, but as of now, the decision remains upheld in that district.
