"Retarded"

I watched many shows in my research for this project.  I heart the word "retarded" quite a bit.  I do not like this word whatsoever.  I do not allow it in my classroom, and I do not say this word at all.  For the first time, I heard this word bleeped out on television.  I was watching the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and I was very surprised to hear the word bleeped out.  It is really refreshing to see that someone in the media is advocating for individuals with disability and eradicating this horrible word.
