Help Special Olympics Chicago Stand Up Against the R-Word

We are asking you to help Special Olympics Chicago and Special Olympics International make a stand against the R-word, or “retard,” which has found a place in common language and seems to be accepted by so many. Special Olympics has joined forces with various national disability organizations to raise voices against the film “Tropic Thunder,” which uses the word repeatedly, and combat the use of the “R-word” in everyday vernacular.
