Censorship history

In 2025, "Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge" by Cheech Marin faced a ban at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns over its themes of race and colonialism. Notably, the book was challenged during a school board meeting in Texas, where local officials and parent groups expressed opposition to its inclusion in the curriculum. As a result, the ban was upheld in multiple districts, leading to ongoing debates about the appropriateness of Chicano art in educational settings.
