Censorship history
In 2025, "Rx" by Tracy Lynn faced bans in several school districts across the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content, sexual content, and depictions of drug and substance use. Notably, the book was challenged during a school board meeting in the Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, where parents and community members voiced concerns over its themes. The board ultimately voted to remove the book from the curriculum, a decision that sparked protests and calls for reinstatement from advocacy groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). As of late 2025, the ban remains upheld in several districts, with ongoing discussions about its implications for educational content.
