Censorship history
In 2025, "Carved in Stone: Clues About Cultures" by Yvonne Morrison was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, with specific complaints citing concerns over its content related to ancient cultures and social practices. The ban was initiated following a formal complaint from a local parent-teacher association in a school district in Texas, leading to a school board vote that upheld the ban despite appeals from educators advocating for its educational value. As of late 2025, the book remains contested in various districts, with ongoing discussions about its reinstatement in school curricula.
