Make the "R" word a bad word.

Created by H.G. on November 08, 2011

People these days throw the word retard around like its nothing. Well, it is something. It is hurtful when used in the wrong context. People with disabilities can be largely affected by it. Especially when people carelessly call others that word. What is worse is when people call intellectually disabled people retarded. It has been a term associated with intellectually disabled people for years but has recently been not used appropriately. Sign this petition if your think they are being treated unfairly and the "R" word should be known as a "bad word". Also sign this petition to stop saying the "R" word in your daily vocabulary. Do not call others that word or use it at all. Pledge Now!
