Censorship history
In 2024, "La maldición del Titán" was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to concerns over its themes and content, which some parents and educators deemed inappropriate for students. The ban was part of a broader movement led by local parent-teacher associations (PTAs) and conservative advocacy groups, who argued that the book's portrayal of mythology could conflict with certain educational values. Specific instances of challenges included formal complaints submitted to school boards, resulting in votes to remove the book from reading lists in various states. As of late 2024, the ban remains upheld in these districts, with ongoing discussions about its potential reinstatement.
