The Good Book Drive: Replacing Inappropriate Books with the True, the Good, and the Beautiful w/ Miranda Stovall and Beanie Geoghegan

The Commonwealth Matters

What would you do if your child’s school library contained books that were inappropriate for children? For our guest Miranda Stovall, this was not a hypothetical situation. After discovering explicit books in her child’s middle school library in Louisville, she took action—but found no support from teachers, principals, or the school board. Joining Miranda is Beanie Geoghegan, her co-founder of Freedom in Education. They also have started the Good Book Drive, an initiative to replace harmful materials with literature that champions truth, goodness, and beauty. In this episode they share why this initiative is needed and how they're meeting the needs of our children in the classroom. To find out more about the Good Book Drive, and to donate, go to freedomined.org/good-book-drive/.
