Never has the selection of a homecoming queen sent so many tears falling so freely.
Kristin Pass, an 18-year-old senior with Down syndrome, became Aledo High School's homecoming queen Friday to a joyous standing ovation and the flutter of a thousand tissues on a remarkable night for an amazing young woman.
Her grandfather, Dr. David Campbell of Corsicana, escorted her onto the field and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as Kristin joined eight other young women in the Homecoming Court to await the results of the vote, cast by the 360-plus members of Aledo High's senior class.

As Governor Palin put it, what a “perfectly beautiful” young lady!
Congratulations to Kristin and her wonderful classmates!
According to Democrats, this young woman should have been aborted. Governor Palin’s Downs Syndrome child enrages them.
First, let me say that this story is just the most heartwarming thing that I have read in quite some time. What a wonderful young woman, recognized as such by her peers.
Now ... your comment is simply not true of every democrat. I have a daughter-in-law and two nieces that would never, ever, consider aborting a child, nor do they feel that anyone else should under any circumstances. They are all registered democrats and the nieces have done campaign work for democrats. Two of these women are PhD's, so they have had their share of academic exposure.
My husband and I do everything we can to bring them to the more conservative side of politics, I think the daughter-in-law may even vote for McCain. Not that I consider McCain a conservative, but the fact that she will vote republican for the first time ever is significant.
He used it against his parents for a while...everytime they told him to do something, he replied, "I'm the king!"
The future of Americ is in good hands!! God bless them.
"She's the person we all want to be," Meaghan said.
That is the best news I have read this week. Please excuse the spelling my screen is blurry.
I suppose it takes that sort of academic “exposure” to reconcile one’s conscience to voting for an abortion supporting and born alive opposing candidate.
Why would you be cyincal?
This young woman's peers have known her for years and I believe that she made this happen all on her own. I know Mrs. Palin is very popular, and just shy of worshipped around FR, but I doubt very seriously that the political events of the past 6 weeks have had much impact on the vote made by this wonderfully grounded senior class.
That is the only reason that I even mentioned the academics ... they have been long exposed to people who probably march for abortion rights and will definitely vote for Obama. These girls have managed to see through all of that as far as right to life goes.
A perfectly beautiful baby girl grows up to be homecoming queen. Trig Palin has much to look forward to in his life.
Sweet Kristinn really was the Queen at that school. It goes to show being homecoming queen is much more than just being the most beautiful girl in the class.
And her two lovely attendents look genuinely happy for her.

I only worship my Lord and Savior. That said, you think these wonderful kids have been living under a rock and have not seen and heard about Trig Palin? It takes nothing away from this girl’s friends to acknowledge that a light is being shown regarding that Down’s Syndrome babies deserve to live too.
Best story of the day. What is wrong with my screen, everything’s all blurry...
LOL, well maybe there is SOME hope...my mother and stepsister are died in the wool commie demokrats so I’m guilty of lumping all demokrats into the same bucket...force of habit.
wow.. great post Kaslin. Thank you
