Censorship history
In 2025, "Zoom in on Equality" by Heather Moore Niver was banned in several school districts across the United States due to its political content and discussions surrounding race and colonialism. Notably, a formal complaint was filed by a local parent group in the Jefferson County School District in Colorado, leading to a school board vote that resulted in the book's removal from the curriculum. The ban has been upheld despite ongoing debates among educators and parents regarding its educational value and relevance to discussions on equality.
