Censorship history
In 2025, "Sex: Opposing Viewpoints" was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its sexual content. The ban was initiated following formal complaints from parents and advocacy groups concerned about the appropriateness of the material for students. Specific instances included a school board vote in a district in Texas, where the majority of board members supported the ban, citing community standards. As of late 2025, the ban remains upheld in those districts, with ongoing discussions about the book's educational value and appropriateness.
