Censorship
The act of censoring is defined as the suppression or prohibition of content judged to be unacceptable, obscene or a threat to security. Censorship can be conducted by governments, institutions and different types of controlling bodies. It may involve the limitation, or an altogether ban, of access to certain types of information - having thus a direct influence on people's opinions and ideas, as well as their further actions.

The act of censorship in Educational sources
Educational sources play a big role in the development of youth's ideas, opinions and critical skill. As it is the youth that represents the future of a society, censorship and manipulation of material taught in educational institutions is not a rare occurrence. Censorship in educational sources may simply consist of the removal of content deemed inappropriate for children, such as nudity and explicit language, however, in more severe cases, it concerns social and religious themes that are deemed controversial.

Examples of such censorship include the omission of Darwin's theory of evolution in the curriculum of some American schools, as it heavily contradicts religious statements put forward by the Bible. This omission prevents students from observing other perspectives to the idea of human creation, and thus from doubting their strictly religious upbringing- making them adhere to their religious community's expectations.

This type of censorship in education, allows for organizations and institutions to take control over the youth's beliefs and opinions, creating a whole generation of individuals whose behavior has been constructed to the said controlling body's liking.
