Censorship of school curricula in the United States (original) (raw)

Throughout the history of the United States, various topics have been censored and banned in education, including teaching about evolution, racism, sexism, sex education, and LGBTQ+ topics. Due to the federal system of the country delegating states much of the responsibility to administer public education, it is often state governments that have enacted such policies. Other state-level efforts have involved state boards of education restricting the teaching of issues surrounding race and sex.
