Censorship history
In 2025, "Caesar and Rome" by Charlotte Bernard was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its perceived political content. The ban was initiated following formal complaints from parents and local advocacy groups, leading to school board votes in districts such as Fairfax County, Virginia, where the book was ultimately removed from the curriculum. The decision sparked significant debate among educators and parents, with some advocating for its reinstatement on the grounds of historical education. As of now, the ban remains upheld, with ongoing discussions about the book's appropriateness in educational settings.
