About this book
Etta is tired of dealing with all of the labels and categories that seem so important to everyone else in her small Nebraska hometown.
Censorship history
In 2024, "Not Otherwise Specified" by Hannah Moskowitz was banned at the school level in various districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns over its themes related to identity and mental health. The ban was initiated by local parent-teacher associations and school boards, reflecting ongoing debates about the appropriateness of certain content in educational settings. Specific instances of challenges included formal complaints from parents in Nebraska, leading to votes that upheld the ban in several districts. As of now, the book remains contested in various locations, with advocates for its reinstatement arguing for its relevance and importance in discussions about identity.
