Today is Spread the Word to End the word.
The word is Retarded. It is not a nice word.
In a US History class at my private college. Which was not inclusive. My professor used this word. My stomach dropped. He said something about the fact that Cotton gin was not invented retarded the growth of cotton.
Now you may be wondering why this upset me, it still does because my reaction to it was a reason why I was not permitted to attend the next year. First off the professor yelled at me saying it was a fine word to use in that case. Second the administration defended him, including the disability person.
I am sorry but when is that word ever okey. Why is it that a term that is considered hurtful to people, children and adults, ever be okey to use. If a student with an intellectual disability was in the class they may not understand that you were not talking about them. That is why it is never a good word to use.
Please go sign the pledge and eliminate this dreadful word from your vocabulary.
