Censorship history
In 2024, "Stand Up for LGBTQ Rights" by Don Nardo faced bans at the school level across various districts in the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content. These bans were often initiated by parents and community members who raised formal complaints during school board meetings, leading to votes that resulted in the removal of the book from libraries and curricula.
