We added a link to a post we wrote last year about the "Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign. It includes a powerful letter written by a mother of two girls, one who has Down Syndrome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this! i almost didn't write this post because everyone had written so many great ones. So glad i did decide to though
ReplyDeletei needed to.
Thank you Ellen for doing this link up!
ReplyDeleteFound you through Finslippy and I'm so glad!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I read many of the comments on your video on Huffington Post and they just made me so sick. I left my positive little one, feeling like I wasn't making much of a difference in the hate and ignorace represented there. Thank you for being willing to put yourself on such a public display to stand up for our kids.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this!!
ReplyDeleteCoolness. I was wondering if somebody would do something like this. Maybe I will write something, even though I don't have a blog xD
ReplyDeleteThis is my third year to write on this subject; things don't seem to be changing on the ground with the young people, but hope and action must continue.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for creating this. I'm linking up the one I wrote last year. I admitted to using the word and the day that it was wiped out of my vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read everyones!

Great idea! Thank you for doing this!

I didn't really write about it. Instead, I re-posted a few links and video from other blogs. Will be good to have them all in one place, a lot of those posts were amazing!!
ReplyDeleteA post I did a few days ago. A picture of some kids from different families, all labeled with the 'R' word at some point.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link up & for your relentless work for our kiddos!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteConscious language is one of the easiest ways to be a more respectful human being.
ReplyDeleteI put a post up on Strollerderby, Babble.com's parenting news site. Hopefully putting it out there on a mainstream site helps raise awareness!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I actually wrote this last year. I am glad to have a place to share it with more than just my few readers!
ReplyDeleteThank you -- looking forward to reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen! Let's hope we changed a few minds. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this. Mine is a private blog so I added a direct link to the video I blogged about.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this-great idea!
ReplyDeleteMine will be a touch cyclical since one of the posts I liked to was yours! Ah well, what goes around comes around!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this!
ReplyDeleteWill go through all the posts once I'm home from work :)
This is something we've been working on for a long time. Thanks for doing this linkup!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Ellen (as usual!) thank you. My post there is old and not particularly packing-the-punches but in the spirit of sharing, I thought I would.
ReplyDeleteMy all-time fave though is the one your printed on the Parents blog - whose mom was it is? - the little girl in the pool and the mom calling the kids on their words and actions. Great one.
Lisa over at Life As I Know It writes some great ones too, on r-word stuff.
Not like you needed to know who else writes great posts on this stuff! Haha! You are the best-est at it!!
ReplyDeleteI wrote about the R word and it's equally repugnant cousin the S word. Any initiative to eliminate hateful and derogatory language has my vote. As my darling girl Chelsea would say you are AWESOME! and I applaud the great work you are doing
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!

I'm late to the party, I just saw this post via Meriah (with a little moxie) and love it!
ReplyDeleteI didn't write a blog this time, I made a video to say what I wanted to say about it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I linked to our post on the R-word titled "Is The R-Word Just A Word, Or Is It A Reflection of Intolerance In Our World?"
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!!! Will become a follower!
When my daughter was in grade school, two girls called her retarded, then spit on her. A young, popular athlete stopped the bullying. I wrote a piece about this young man and the R word. I hoped to encourage people to think before using hurtful words! Thanks for sharing your points. Love your blog. Looking forward to following your posts. If you'd like to read the full story about this incident, please check out my blog. http://outoneear.com/youre-retarded/
