Censorship history

In 2024, "Snow, Glass, Apples" by Neil Gaiman faced bans at the school level across several districts in the United States, primarily due to concerns over sexual content, violence, and perceived immorality. Notably, the book was challenged during a school board meeting in a district in Texas, where parents voiced objections that led to a vote resulting in its removal from the curriculum. The ban was upheld despite appeals from educators and advocates for literary freedom, reflecting ongoing tensions surrounding content deemed inappropriate for students.
