The R-word is one of those words I cannot stand. I don’t know why, but I can honestly say that in my adult life, I have never used it. I can’t stand to hear it from people, to read it on message boards or hear any jokes about it. I have no personal reason why the word bothers me. I don’t think I even know any mentally challenged people. But hearing people use that word drives me insane. You an help to change the conversation. Read on to help eliminate the use of the R-word in everyday speech.
From the R-word website: Actor John C. McGinley of “Scrubs” shares a message about why you should pledge to stop using the word “retard(ed)” and begin helping Special Olympics and Best Buddies International create a world of respect for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Join us on 3.3.10 to make your pledge to end the R-word.
