Ever wonder how “15 days to slow the spread” turned into more than two years of Zoom torture, kids in masks all day, and elite children getting private tutors while public-school families got crushed? Natalya Murakhver, a former Upper West Side progressive turned “Open Schools” mom, joins Bridget to discuss her new documentary 15 Days, a forensic analysis of what happened to children during school closures, including devastating learning loss, mental health crises, and inequality. And let’s not forget teachers’ unions weaponizing race, George Floyd protests magically being “safe” while 28 kids in a classroom weren’t, key science being available and ignored, and the quiet radicalization of a generation left alone with glowing screens. Even though the topic will make your blood boil, it’s important to remember what happened and not allow it to be memory holed. 15 Days preserves the voices of those who fought to reopen schools and serves as a historical record to protect future generations.
