Censorship history

In 2025, "Alexander and His Times" by Frederic Theule was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns over its portrayal of historical events and figures, which some parents and educators deemed inappropriate for students. Notably, in a school board meeting in Texas, a formal complaint was raised by a local parent group, leading to a vote that upheld the ban despite opposition from educators advocating for its educational value. The book remains contested in various districts, with ongoing discussions about its reinstatement in curricula.
