Jennifer Sey told Fox News that she lost her job last year after she spoke out against school closures.
At the time, she warned that school closures could be bad for children's mental health, and she advised that they were likely a bad idea. According to what she told Fox News, she was summarily drubbed out of her job because of it.
The New York Times went on for nearly three years in agreement with the fear-mongering about allowing children back into school during COVID times. However, the newspaper now appears ready to change its tune, which is upsetting Sey, who says that it cost her considerably that she was demonized for her opinions at the time.
NYT tweeted the following last week:
"Many young children failed to reintegrate to classrooms quickly because they needed to relearn basic socialization skills, one clinician said, while teenagers returned to schools bearing anxiety disorders beyond anything Ive ever seen in my career,"
This is a dramatic change, of course, for the newspaper that was so quick to judge and demonize those who had opinions that differed from their own when it came to the issue of getting children back into classrooms during COVID times.
Sey tweeted back in response to what the New York Times put out by tweeting:
"When parents raised this, we were called racists & mocked by @nytimes reporters. You refused to include us (fairly) in any coverage. We were vilified as alt-right psychos. Some of us lost jobs for saying what you say here. But we were right. You owe us & kids a major apology."
She then added another tweet that read:
"I endured an aggressively hostile work environment for 2 years at @LeviStraussCo & ultimately lost my job & livelihood for having the insight & foresight to say the thing the @nytimes has finally caught on to 3 yrs later. So this news wasnt "fit to print" until now?"
While speaking with Fox News, Sey says that she feels outraged by the way the left-wing media covered the pandemic and the issue of children returning to school. She told Fox:
"People like you and me had the audacity to say something before The New York Times said it, something that was patently obvious that children would be harmed from prolonged school closures. We were vilified, and we were smeared. It's the reason I was ousted from my job."
