I will repeat myself everyday until some of you actually care.
Using the R word slur is ****NEVER**** okay, no matter who uses it!!! It’s absolutely disgusting and reprehensible. Shame!

Nick and I now have shared custody of a special needs child. Taking care of them has awakened us to the harm of slurs. We no longer refer to disabled people using the n word. #spreadthewordtoendtheword
as we watch the Trump Elon train wreck continue, just a reminder -- using the R word to describe someone is hateful, offensive, and uncalled for. Letting this go unstated gives #elon the power to reintroduce this as acceptable #itsnotok #spreadthewordtoendtheword #disabilityrights #dobetter
Lauren Potter, a young woman with a short blonde bob with bangs and glasses, smiles while dressed in a red and white cheerleading uniform with "WMHS" on the front. She holds red and white pom-poms and stands in front of a red curtain. The word "Glee" appears in red text, styled to form an "L" shape with a hand.

I agree. And I see it mostly on the far right side of the aisle. #spreadthewordtoendtheword
Holy schoolkids, Batman, I survived! What an amazing experience and SUCH a great conversation with so many kids about bullying and why we do NOT like or use the R word or any variation of it. Phew and also, hooray! #downsyndrome #specialneeds #spreadthewordtoendtheword #tiredmom
Tomorrow I am giving what might be my scariest talk EVER. I'll be speaking to students in grades 5, 6 and 7 about Down syndrome, the R word and anti-bullying. Wish me luck. Seriously. #downsyndrome #specialneeds #spreadthewordtoendtheword

Dear fellow X converts, can we make a pact to not use the R word on this platform? I’ve noticed an uptick in ugliness lately, especially the word “retard,” which is a dagger to the heart of parents of special needs children like me.
