Reply #49: I wish we didn't

use the word "Retard" While wouldn't argue that Sarah lacks the mental ability of most fleas to call someone retard is very mean spirited. For years the word "retard" was used to taunt those who have cognitive challenges.

When I was going to school this one little girl was taunted, teased and bullied because she was what we would now call a special ed child. Kids threw things at her and called her retard. I found it cruel then and I find it cruel now. I used to eat lunch with her back in Junior high because if I didn't people would walk by and push her lunch tray on the ground.

I'm a teach now. I wouldn't tolerate someone calling one of my students retard.

So while I would agree that Sarah is no scholar, please do not call her a retard. Saying things doesn't further the discourse as to what is wrong with what she and her followers are trying to pedal.
