Last month, Michael Garcia made a lot of people smile. The 45-year-old, who is a waiter at Laurenzo’s Restaurant in Houston, Texas, refused to serve a family who insulted Milo Castillo, a five-year-old with Down Syndrome, by suggesting that "special needs children need to be special someplace else."
Sure, high schoolers can be cruel sometimes. But every now and then, young people will rally around someone who's different and give them the support they need. Students at Linden High School in Michigan, for example, have appointed a senior with special needs as the school's football team manager.
Aw, this is a great story! A group of high school students on a field trip came across a homeless man stuck in thick mud for three days near the Rio Grande River in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The man is recovering at a local hospital, but a happy ending? Maybe not!
