Censorship history
In 2024, "Pride: The LGBTQ+ Rights Movement: A Photographic Journey" by Christopher Measom was banned at the school level in several states across the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content. This ban was part of a broader trend of challenges against LGBTQ+ literature, often initiated by local parent-teacher associations and conservative advocacy groups. Specific instances included formal complaints lodged in school districts in states like Florida and Texas, where school boards voted to remove the book from libraries and curricula. As of now, the bans remain upheld, with ongoing debates and challenges in various districts.
