Censorship history
In 2025, "Drug Use on Your Streets" by Gabrielle Edwards was banned at the school level across several districts in the United States due to concerns over its content related to drugs and substance use, as well as accusations of immorality. Notably, the ban was upheld following a series of formal complaints from parents and local advocacy groups, leading to school board votes in states such as Texas and Florida that favored the removal of the book from curricula.
