Renee,
I find it very offensive!!!
I would like to know who is putting it out???
Last year I called our school superintendent and complained because they put up a poster that was used to advertise the ACT test. It was a poster they put up after the test. I showed all the kids that looked really stressed out and asked "Did the ACT leave you feeling like and IDIOT?" I just didn't find it appropriate at all. Don't find this funny either!!!
So, it's not just you that is being overly sensitive.
Connie

Nope, you are not tooooo sensitive. People who even think up stuff like that are callous, mean spirited, etc, etc. No way to get around it..............it's very offensive.

You are not too sensitive. I teach high school and when my students refer to one another as retards, I explain to them what the word means. I also explain to them that calling someone a retard is the same as using a racial slur in my book. It is meant to be negative and demeaning.

I think it is awful. I hope it wasn't Baby Center. They say some awful things about the term subject. I just don't like our state name advertised like that. It isn't right.  |

I have seen a few things on the internet that disturb me. There was a shirt about Down Syndrome that was horrible.
