Take the original R-Word “My Words Matter” Pledge by Jenna Glatzer:
“I pledge that I will not use the words “retard” or “retarded” to mean “stupid.” I understand that this is hurtful to people who have disabilities and people who love them, so I will be careful with my words. I will also try to remember to pay attention when other people use these words, and I’ll ask them to stop. “

I think this is great.

I pledge never to use the words “retard” or “retarded” to mean “stupid. This site has opened my eyes to the pain I have caused in the past by using these terms.
This is really great. My entire school is pledging, and we all are now going to stop saying the r-word. This will help everyone. The r-word is just as bad any other word that can hurt anyone.
