Censorship history
In 2024, "Dare You To" by Katie McGarry faced bans in several school districts across the United States due to concerns over sexual content and perceived immorality. Notably, the book was challenged during a school board meeting in a district in Texas, where parents voiced their objections, leading to a vote that resulted in the book being removed from the curriculum. The ban sparked discussions about censorship and parental control over educational materials, with some advocates pushing for its reinstatement, but as of late 2024, the ban remains upheld in that district.
