No Child Spared
Meni Philip believed the days of teachers physically disciplining students belonged in the past, along with vague memories of abuse he suffered in school years ago. A viral post online proved otherwise, detailing brutality suffered at the hands of teachers in ultra-Orthodox Jewish schools and eliciting hundreds of similar stories. The responses sent Meni on a journey to lift the veil on this ongoing system of abuse that transcends generations and happens all over the world.
