The Woman They Tried to Cancel for Defending Common Sense
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Natalya Murakhver
Filmmaker and children’s advocate Natalya Murakhver discusses her documentary Uncancellable, which tells the story of New York school board member Maud Maron and the price she paid for refusing to stay silent. After defending merit-based education, opposing harmful school policies, and refusing to condemn an innocent father, Maron lost the career she had built for nearly 20 years. Natalya explains how school boards have become ideological battlegrounds, why parents who speak up are increasingly targeted, and why protecting free speech has never been more important. Uncancellable is available through RealClearPolitics and Palladium Pictures.
