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.
