Censorship history
In 2025, "Drinking, Driving and Drugs" by Jean McBee Knox was banned at the school level across several districts in the United States due to concerns over its content related to drugs and substance use, as well as accusations of immorality. The ban was prompted by formal complaints from parents and local advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that upheld the decision in multiple states. As of late 2025, the book remains contested in various districts, with ongoing discussions about its educational value versus its controversial themes.
