The feel-good story of the week comes from Solon, Iowa where the kids in the senior class provided the lesson plan, naming a popular student with Down syndrome homecoming king.

Farnsworth, who was Josh's escort for the homecoming festivities, said the court was committed to making Josh king. Before the king was announced, the remaining candidates agreed to hand over their crown to Josh if it came to that, Farnsworth said.
The charity was unnecessary. The votes were in and Josh was king.
