The Tertiary PLACE is helping to Spread the Word to End the Word™ (http://www.r-word.org/ ). We are excited to join the on-going campaign to stop the use of the word ‘retard(ed)’ or as we call it, the “r-word.”
We invite people everywhere to join us as we work to create a community of acceptance and inclusion for people with intellectual impairments by educating AGAINST the use of the r-word.
You can show your support in a number of ways:
1. On our Facebook page, “like” us; “share” our status updates with your friends; or, “suggest” that your friends might ‘like’ our page
2. Print and display the attached poster
3. Talk to your network about not using the r-word, or
4. Pledge to personally stop using the word and sign our Pledge Book at the Post-School Expo in March.
This is an important campaign and we hope that you can join us as we work to change the conversation.
