Reality check: the R word is the wrong word
For Learning Disability Week I want people to understand that terms like 'retard' are offensive and not okay to use to describe anyone. Learning disability isn't a problem, it's a condition. There's a word people love so much that when you ask them to stop saying it they'll defend it, and sometimes this leads to arguments. That word is "retard" and when people with a learning disability speak out about it, they got a whole lot of arguments in return.
