Not sure it's as "black" and white as the poster wants it to be -

"Friday's graduation ceremony came during a particularly fraught time in the district. A large group of residents, including a former district teacher who worked in the district prior to Briggs' tenure, have voiced numerous complaints against Briggs, other administrators and the School Board.

The group is currently attempting to recall Vodak and has until July 14 to submit more than 2,500 signatures to force a recall election. If the campaign is successful, Vodak said the election would be in late August or early September at the earliest. Vodak is up for re-election next spring."

Nice try

"School Board President Kevin Vodak, board members Gwynne Peterson, Katie Kalish and Amy DeLong, and Baraboo High School Principal Steve Considine shared the stage with Briggs.

The man did not interact with any of them but only confronted Briggs."

Seriously 

Like why did he lets his daughter go in the first place and then pick on him! Wise up, not you, just that post though not sure if you read it correctly

Like this is funny??
Let's go with this one. A mate just turned 60, T2D for 10 years treated with all the standard drug protocols. Carrying too much weight,has nasty foot ulcer for over 12 months, diabetic retinopathy requiring injections into his eyeballs, regularly shits himself and now on insulin like a T1.
He hangs on every word of his dietitian with the healthy whole grains and low saturated fat, 5 a day, healthy cooking oils crap. All the while steadily declining.
Someone who is severely insulin resistant(carbohydrate intolerant) eating loads of carbs. In what universe does that make sense.
Won't listen to a word I say regardless of me showing him evidence of 100s of people just like him resolving their symptoms by drastically reducing the carbs in their diet.
Adamant he's going to listen to the doctors and nurses, they know best after all. And he's married to a nurse!
Sorry couldn't find any humour in this sad tale.

Why should he listen to you?

I assuming your advice is based upon "your published" scientific research. The research has been conducted to relevant standards and peer reviewed to the highest degree? Yes it is. Or is this just 100s of anecdotal claims that is used to back up your views and no serious scientific basis behind it?No it isn't. If the answer is as I suspect, then he's absolutely right not to listen to you.

I've no doubt diet and healthier lifestyles can help "reduce" symptoms for certain conditions, even if it's just for mental health or a placebo effect. Lots of the stuff I read is pure pseudoscience and backed up by no real scientific research or clinical trials, which is morally wrong and downright dangerous.

T2 diabetes can be put into remission by diet and lifestyle,FACT.
Sit outside the endocrinology dept. to get a feel for whats coming down the tracks, it would be motivation enough for most if they were at least presented with this advice by the "professionals"

A woman has died after she was struck by a train while attempting to take a selfie near railway tracks in a horrific caught-on-camera incident.

The unnamed victim was watching the Empress, a vintage steam train, cruise by in Nopala de Villagrán, Mexico, located northwest of Mexico City when the crash occurred on Tuesday.

BBC NI "News" devoting its entire programme, save about 90 seconds on a Lyra McKee story to talk about the D Day anniversary.

Never watched it but been in the car today and it was nearly walk to wall stuff, in fairness there won't be too many left after this year.

80 years is a serious anniversary for those still alive, who won't be about to remember it.

I'd a few late 90's and even one lady who was 101 and chatted about those periods..

Crazy times, knowing you were heading to possible death, would that happen today? I doubt it very much, these lads willingly put themselves up for that

Most of them didn't though, they just had normal jobs at the time and were conscripted - saw an interview with one the other day and he said none of them wanted to be there as they knew there was a good chance of being killed, but nothing they could do about it.

But I take your point about nowadays, boys would be coming up with all sorts of disabilities to make sure they couldn't go

You can object to being conscripted, unfortunately that brought about breaking the law, but nearly 40% during WW2 volunteered.

Aye, and they'd be  dead right too

On the Lyra McKee trial, heard summaries a few times on the radio, but do they actually have any decent evidence against the accused? From what I've heard, it seems very weak.
