“It is great to hear that Dr. Feagins has retained Alan Crone, a top-notch attorney and good guy. … The board members who are criticizing her need to discuss their concerns with her privately, not publicly. This grandstanding is not helping to educate children.” — Paula Casey about Attorney: Claims against Feagins are ‘weak,’ and she ‘absolutely’ wants to keep her job


“… Do you tell people with depression they don’t need antidepressants and they should just be happy? Whether you like it or not, for some people, obesity is a medical condition, not a lifestyle choice.” — Elizabeth Berry about ‘It’s bonkers’ — how Ozempic, Wegovy change lives of those who struggle to lose weight


“Cincinnati has no Top 20 wins and a loss to a very average Villanova team. They are 17th? Memphis has wins against two top 20 teams and wins against two others receiving votes. Two of the three losses for Memphis are against top 20 teams … It’s hard to make sense of that …” — Timothy Little about Memphis drops out of AP Top 25 poll following loss to Mississippi State
