I pledge i will never use this r-word! Never again! And never i did!

I would like to pledge against using the r-word. There is no reason that such a harsh word should be used against another person. What is the point? My cousin with down syndrome is the most beautiful girl in the world and has blessed our family so much!

We are all differently-abled. Take the time to embrace all people's abilities. The r-word is an inappropriate way to talk about people who are exactly how God needs them to make a difference in our world. Spread the pledge!

We, rough people of Cheljabinsk agree and support you. God bless you

I pledge and support the elimination of the derogatory use of the r-word from everyday speech and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.

I pledge and support to no longer use the derogatory r word from any form of speech and teach others that this word is not acceptable.

I love people. I love retarded people, because in their simplicity and sincere heart they can be closer to God than any of us. But I do not care about modern PC madness and will use whatever word fits best. Fix your minds, not the innocent words!

I have avoided the R-word for some time and will continue to discourage its use by others. If anyone is behind, it is those who use it! Former volunteer for Special Olympics, love you guys and girls!

I have a little brother with downs and when I use this word it makes me feel like I am directly making fun of him. I pledge to stop using this word and urge others to do so also.
