For years I have been trying to stop people saying the word; I've sent emails, given lectures, and generally shouted at people about it. I completely support this website. Thank you so much for what you're doing! Get rid of this from conversation :)

I pledge to end the R- word because I have a sister with severe Autism and I believe this word is very offensive and should not be used in that way. I hear people around my school say it often and I am hurt and bothered by it.
