Censorship history

In 2025, "Jujutsu Kaisen" was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to concerns over its violent content. Notably, the ban was influenced by complaints from local parent-teacher associations (PTAs) and school board votes in states such as Texas and Florida, where similar titles faced scrutiny for their portrayal of violence and supernatural themes. The bans have sparked ongoing debates about censorship in educational settings, with some districts still contesting the decisions.
