Censorship history

In 2025, "Crimes Against Children: Child Abuse and Neglect" by Tracee De Hahn was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns over its portrayal of violence and immorality. Notably, the ban was upheld following a contentious school board vote in a district in Texas, where parents and local advocacy groups expressed strong opposition to the book's content. The decision sparked formal complaints from educators and child welfare advocates who argued for the importance of discussing child abuse and neglect in educational settings. As of late 2025, the ban remains contested in various districts, with ongoing debates about the book's educational value versus its perceived risks.
