The Epstein controversy has now reached American schools.
Several schools across the United States have canceled student picture days after social media posts raised concerns about possible past business links connected to Epstein.
The situation started when online users linked a major school photography company to an investment firm that once had financial dealings involving Epstein.
Although there is no evidence connecting school photos to Epstein, the controversy spread rapidly on social media.
In Texas, including the small town of Malakoff, school authorities canceled scheduled picture days after parents expressed discomfort.
Some schools said families felt uneasy allowing their children to be photographed amid the ongoing Epstein controversy.
Other districts in Texas and even a charter school in Arizona also changed their plans.
The photography company at the center of the debate denied all allegations.
Officials clearly stated that no student images were ever shared with any third party and that Epstein had no involvement in company operations.
The fresh wave of concern comes after millions of documents linked to Epstein were recently released in the United States.
These records revealed his past connections with business leaders, politicians, and powerful figures.
So far, no official review of those documents has shown any link between school photos and Epstein.
However, the Epstein controversy continues to create ripple effects across institutions.
For many parents, even indirect connections were enough to trigger alarm.
Experts say this incident highlights how quickly viral claims can influence public decisions.
Even years after his death, the Epstein controversy still impacts businesses, politics, and now even school activities.
What began as online speculation has now disrupted classrooms.
And the debate shows that when it comes to children’s safety, parents are not willing to take any risk — even if the evidence is unclear.
