The @WmBillWalton Show with Jennifer Sey #onestreamlive
Olympic gymnast, author, and former Chief Marketing Officer at Levis Strauss Jennifer Sey talks pandemic-era school lockdowns and the backlash she received for speaking out against the school shutdowns with Bill Walton.
Sey was ostracized in deep blue San Francisco for publicly opposing the closures of schools in the COVID-19 pandemic. She felt compelled to speak out for the children whose development and education were detrimentally affected by the isolation of virtual school.
“I think what people failed to predict, which I saw from the beginning, societally, we sent children the message that their education was not a priority, that they were not a priority, and in fact, if they missed things like having friends and an every day life and key milestone, like graduations and football games, they were selfish, horrible people. Imagine what that does to a child’s psyche. So, now, the depression, the anxiety persists, not surprisingly, and we’re seeing record high levels of absenteeism,” Sey said.
She is determined to make these effects clear to the American public through a documentary titled Generation COVID. The documentary is currently in production and will highlight the stories of ten different families and the struggles of their children in the post-pandemic education environment.
