I pledge not to use this word in a derogatory way and I do it for my beautiful and sweet daughter. I hope she never fully understands that this word is used as an insult.

I am the sister to a girl with characteristics of PDD and Autism, & Cerebral Paulsey. I hear kids at my school use this word all the time and I believe that it's wrong and should not be used that way, and think that everyone should take this pledge.
