How can we honor the memory of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, whose Special Olympics helped reveal the capabilities of people who are intellectually disabled? One simple, no-cost way would be to stop using the word “retard” or the phrase “That’s so retarded” in everyday conversation.

No legislation is necessary; no speech police need to be called. Please just do it. And thank you in advance.
