Censorship history
In 2024, "Killers and Other Family" by Lucy Thurber faced bans in several U.S. school districts due to its LGBTQ+ content and depictions of violence. Notably, the book was challenged during a school board meeting in Florida, where local parents and advocacy groups voiced concerns over its appropriateness for students. As a result of these challenges, the book was officially banned in multiple districts, reflecting a growing trend of censorship targeting LGBTQ+ literature in educational settings.
