David Zweig on Union Power Grabs, Media Complicity, & “Expert” Manipulations During Covid School Closures

David Zweig joins Freedom to Learn to discuss his new book, "An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions," a piercing exposé of America’s COVID-era school closure debacle. Zweig reveals how media, health “experts,” and teachers unions ignored real-time evidence, amplified fear, and prioritized politics over children, with devastating class-based consequences. His book uncovers the groupthink and failures that prolonged closures and equips readers to spot similar missteps in future crises.An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions: https://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Caution-American-Schools-Decisions/dp/0262549158How Covid Lies Destroyed Kids’ Lives: https://www.thefp.com/p/david-zweig-covid-lies-school-lockdowns-destroyed-kids-livesCongressional hearing on the Consequences of School Closures: Intended and Unintended: https://oversight.house.gov/hearing/the-consequences-of-school-closures-intended-and-unintended/🔗 Links & Resources:Visit our website: DFIPolicy.org💡 Stay Connected:Follow us on Instagram: @DFIPolicyFollow us on Twitter: @DFIPolicyFollow us on Facebook: /DFIPolicySubscribe to our YouTube channel (@DFIPolicy) for future episodes!📩 Contact Us:If you have feedback or suggestions for future podcasts, please reach out to us at [email protected].🎧 Thank You for Listening:Freedom to Learn is a production of the Defense of Freedom Institute.
