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. “

The “r” Word Campaign © 2007-2015, Rick & Wanda Felty – online since April 2007
I will try hard not to use the “r” word
I pledge to NOT use the R-word.
I will not say the “r” word.
I have a really good friend who has intellectual disabilities and I love her so much! I really hated it when she got made fun of and since at school I’m the “popular one” who sets trends, I became her friend! You would not belive HOW many people stopped making fun of her and acctually became friends with her after that!!!!
I NEVER DID SAY THIS WORD AND I NEVER WILL!
