Censorship history
In 2025, "A House for Everyone" was banned at the school level across several districts in the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content and allegations of immorality. This decision followed a series of complaints from parent-teacher associations and conservative advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that upheld the bans in various states. The book's removal sparked protests and discussions about educational content related to gender identity, but as of now, the ban remains in effect in the districts that voted against it.
