IT'S TIME TO BAN THE R WORD



Two of my favorite actresses on Glee, Jane Lynch and Lauren Potter, who play Sue Sylvester and cheerleader Becky join together for a 30-second PSA urging people to stop using the word retard. Now I will admit that as someone who loathes political correctness I do use the word. If it's towards someone with down-syndrome (which I happen to know someone who is) then everyone should know it's not right to use that word towards them. i use retarded towards people who are actually stupid - not towards someone who has a disability. I love people like Lauren who go against the grain and show people they are just as capable as others are in living life to the fullest. I applaud you guys for bringing awareness, but I don't see it going anywhere like the words nigger and faggot.
