Censorship history

In 2024, "The Lady of the Lake" by Andrzej Sapkowski was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to concerns over its content, categorized under "Other." This ban was part of a broader trend of challenges against fantasy literature, often led by local Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) and school boards responding to formal complaints from parents. The specific outcomes of these challenges varied, with some districts upholding the ban while others opted to reinstate the book after community discussions.
