Censorship history
In 2025, "Euthanasia" by James D. Torr was banned at the school level across several districts in the United States due to its political content and themes deemed immoral. The ban was initiated following complaints from local parent-teacher associations (PTAs) and conservative advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that upheld the censorship. As of late 2025, the book remains contested in various states, with ongoing debates about its appropriateness in educational settings.
