Censorship history
In 2025, "GLBT Teens and Society" by Jeanne Nagle was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content and perceived immorality. Notably, in a school board meeting in Texas, a formal complaint was filed by a local parent organization advocating for the removal of materials they deemed inappropriate for students. The ban was upheld despite pushback from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, and as of late 2025, the book remains contested in various districts, reflecting ongoing debates over educational content related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
