Some Words Are Crushing
My artwork inspired by www.R-Word.org to help end the use of the r-word. "The R-word is the word 'retard(ed)'. Why does it hurt? The R-word hurts because it is exclusive. It's offensive. It's derogatory. Our campaign asks people to pledge to stop saying the R-word as a starting point toward creating more accepting attitudes and communities for all people. Language affects attitudes and attitudes affect actions. Pledge today to use respectful, people-first language." (Originally created in 2010 and revised 2016) Visit [www.r-word.org]
