The "R" word is hurtful! Join Special Olympics in this world-wide movement! 

The R-word is EXCLUSIVE

“What’s wrong with "retard"? I can only tell you what it means to me and people like me when we hear it. It means that the rest of you are excluding us from your group. We are something that is not like you and something that none of you would ever want to be. We are something outside the "in" group. We are someone that is not your kind. I want you to know that it hurts to be left out here, alone.”

– Joseph Franklin Stephens, Special Olympics Virginia athlete and Global Messenger
