It’s about time all of us raise our awareness a notch!

ANYBODY who DOESN’T sign this one, yet ranted and raved to embarrassingly hyserical proportions about the ‘dreaded’ n word like it was the end of the world, should look into themselves and feel nothing but shame

Thank you for this segment, I too was guilty of using the R-Word, not realizing how it impacted others, and then our first daughter was born and she had Down syndrome, that experience opened my eyes to that word and the use of it. I realized how often people use it in everyday life with out realizing the meaning behind the word. Not only does it hurt people with disabilities, but also their families, my heart aches when I hear people using that word, or even making fun of people with disabilities. My daughter opened my eyes, and to her I’m very grateful, and am so VERY BLESSED!

I am only a gr.6 student at P.P.S. And this morning my whole school went to the our gymnasiam for an assembly. and it was about the R-word. See I use to say that word alot but now that I signed a pleg to not say it (at school) I’v been not saying that word at all.
This day made learn alot and I hope more people learned something today too.

Thank you for taking the time to cover such an important issue—bringing awareness to this issue means more to me than you could know. THANK YOU!
