NEED TO KNOW

• Daniel Curtis Lee helped his former Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide costar Tylor Chase with a hotel room and a meal

• Chase is currently experiencing homelessness in California

• Lee stepped in to help Chase for the holidays as his fellow Ned's costars work towards a plan for long term assistance

Daniel Curtis Lee is helping his formerNed's Declassified School Survival Guidecostar Tylor Chase in a time of need.

Lee, 34, shared updates on Instagram of himself visiting Chase, 36, who is experiencing homelessness in California, days after a video of the actor went viral on social media. In the clips, the two men share a meal at a pizza restaurant, then Lee accompanies Chase to a hotel room, where Lee says he'll stay as he works with others toward a plan for long-term assistance.

The actor then offered an update on Chase's situation after the visit.

"So, a lot of people have been reaching out, and seeing if I'm still in touch with Tylor since that last TikTok video where I went to visit him," Lee said in the firstInstagramclip he posted. "And, yeah, man, as a matter of fact, I just got off a call with him."

He then said that communicating with Chase has been "hard," because "he'll have a phone one day and then maybe not the next."

Lee elaborated that he was hoping to form a "trust" to which people could donate funds to help Chase get back on his feet, and was looking into rehabilitation programs that would best suit his needs.

In asecond Instagram video, published on Tuesday, Dec. 23, Lee went on to explain that Chase was able to speak with his father over FaceTime, and several of Chase's former costars are working together to help him get into a facility.

"A lot of you guys are concerned about Tylor Chase this holiday season, and I just wanted to give you an update. Shaun Weiss and his team put a lot of effort into trying to get him into a hospital last night, and I thought it worked. His dad told me it worked, but it turns out he kind of backed out," Lee explained.

"So they couldn't get him into a car last night, and that's why they weren't able to get him to the hospital," Lee explained.

"Yeah, it's the holiday season. It's raining out, and I just want them to have at least some basic accommodations. He wanted to stay local, and this was the only one that was open and accepted people," Lee said.

"Okay, thank you so much," Chase replied as Lee hugged him inside the hotel room.

"Give me a hug, man. Love you, brother. Love you, man. So happy to see you, dude," Lee said. "You're the man, brother, and I believe in you, and we're gonna win, bro. All we got to do is stay with it and keep working, dude."

On Monday, Dec. 22, Weiss — who starred in theMighty Ducksmovies — shared in anInstagram videothat he's received "many messages" about Chase and that he's taken action.

"I reached out to some friends of mine and we have a bed for him at a detox and we have a place for him to go and get long-term treatment," Weiss, 47, said, sharing the actor's apparent location and asking fans to get in touch if they can help.

The actor has previously opened up about his own past experiences with homelessness, as well as addiction, amid his sobriety journey. He shared on an April episode ofPod Meets Worldthat he benefited from "a tremendous amount of support from people" who were invested in his recovery as fans of his acting.

Chase played Martin Qwerly inNed's Declassified, which ran for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2004 to 2007.

Lee and Chase's other former costars, Devon Werkheiser andLindsey Shaw, addressed videos "circulating on the internet" of their friend "going through some stuff," during an episode ofNed's Declassified Podcast Survival Guideback in September.

Trooper and suspect killed in a shooting at a Delaware DMV

After a gunman shot a Delaware state trooper inside a DMV office near Wilmington on Tuesday, the wounded trooper pushed a nearby employee to safety before the gunman shot him again, killing him, authorities said. A police officer then confronted, shot and killed the gunman.

The trooper, who has not yet been named, was working an overtime assignment at the reception desk when the 44-year-old gunman walked in, approached the trooper and fired, state police said at a news conference Tuesday night.

The gunman and state trooper were transported to a hospital, where they died.

"We lost a brother, a son, a best friend, a coach, a husband and a father," Col. William D. Crotty of the state police said at the news conference. "His last actions were that of a hero, a hero who saved lives today while sacrificing his own."

The threat was over before 3 p.m., according to state police. A woman and second state trooper had minor injures not from gunshots.

"What happened today was an act of pure evil, and if not for the heroism of several troopers and other officers, the consequences could have been so much worse," Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer said at the news conference.

The state DMV said it has closed its offices statewide.

Oklahoma instructor removed from teaching for failing a Bible-based gender essay

The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination overa failing gradeon a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a "belief in multiple genders" was "demonic."

The university said ina statementposted Monday on X that its investigation found the graduate teaching assistant had been "arbitrary" in giving 20-year-old junior Samantha Fulnecky zero points on the assignment. The university declined to comment beyond its statement, which said the instructor "will no longer have instructional duties."

Through her attorney, the instructor, Mel Curth, denied Tuesday that she had "engaged in any arbitrary behavior regarding the student's work." The attorney, Brittany Stewart, said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press that Curth is "considering all of her legal remedies."

Conservative groups, commentators and others quickly made Fulnecky's failing grade an online cause, highlighting her argument that she'd been punished for expressing conservative Christian views. Her case became a flashpoint in the ongoing debate over academic freedom on college campuses as President Donald Trump pushes toend diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and restrict how campuses discuss race, gender and sexuality.

Fulnecky appealed her grade on the assignment, which was worth 3% of the final grade in the class, and the university said the assignment would not count. It also placed Curth on leave, and Oklahoma's conservative Republican governor, Kevin Stitt, declared the situation "deeply concerning."

"The University of Oklahoma believes strongly in both its faculty's rights to teach with academic freedom and integrity and its students' right to receive an education that is free from a lecturer's impermissible evaluative standards," the university's statement said. "We are committed to teaching students how to think, not what to think."

A law approved this yearby Oklahoma's Republican-dominated Legislature and signed by Stitt prohibits state universities from using public funds to finance DEI programs or positions or mandating DEI training. However, the law says it does not apply to scholarly research or "the academic freedom of any individual faculty member."

Home telephone listings for Fulnecky in the Springfield, Missouri, area had been disconnected, and her mother — an attorney, podcaster and radio host — did not immediately respond Tuesday to a Facebook message seeking comment about the university's action.

Fulnecky's failing grade came in an assignment for a psychology class on lifespan development. Curth directed students to write a 650-word response to an academic study that examined whether conformity with gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students.

Fulnecky wrote that she was frustrated by the premise of the assignment because she does not believe that there are more than two genders based on her understanding of the Bible, according toa copy of her essayprovidedto The Oklahoman.

"Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth," she wrote, adding that it would lead society "farther from God's original plan for humans."

In feedback obtained by the newspaper, Curth said the paper did "not answer the questions for the assignment," contradicted itself, relied on "personal ideology" over evidence and "is at times offensive."

"Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs," Curth wrote.
