Spread the Word to End the Word

What is "the word?" Retard, or retarded. It's offensive, derogatory, and unnecessary. I hated the word before Abby, and my feelings have only intensified. This campaign asks people to pledge to stop saying the R-word.  Just don't use it.  Ever.  Period. If you still don't agree, read this and hear from a mom who is pretty darn vocal about her feelings on the r-word.

Spreading the Word...

...to end the word! My alma mater made a great video to support the Spread the Word to End the Word initiative.  These teens are choosing to use other words than the R-word.  Are you? No matter what the context, the r-word is offensive, rude, and unnecessary.  Expand your vocabulary please!
