Good's commitment to book accessibility and the rejection of book limitation is what led him to leave the Donegal School District after 13 years
In Lancaster County, a former middle school librarian is being nationally recognized for his courage and commitment to intellectual freedom after he left Donegal School District in defiance of a policy that requires students to get parental consent before accessing young adult books.Matthew Good is no stranger to rows of books and the controversy that sometimes finds a home among these spines.
'Ethically, it was an easy decision. But there was a lot that I struggled with as well because I love teaching. I loved working with students. But this was restricting my ability to do the job that I had chosen to do. Because anytime a student asked for a recommendation for a book, now, the sudden I had to go check will do they have this paperwork on file,' Good said.
