Platform: Disability awareness

NewsChannel6 - Idaho Falls Native Vying for Miss America Crown

From the report:

Her platform, acceptance of and accessibility for people with disabilities.

Sadie Quigley, Miss Idaho: "Show that it's okay that we all have similarities and difference and some may be just be more physical than others and it is okay to accept each other and love it each other for who we are."


I like her platform. Disability awareness seems like a cliche', but there is still a ton of room for education. I don't think people really get it until disability touches their life, or that of a loved one.


Miss America is moving to TLC this year.
