[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The response seems extreme, especially given the circumstance. A warning should have been given instead, or even an RJ chat. People are just over the top sensitive about words in certain areas, creating such delicate snowflakes. [/quote] Would you feel the same if it was the N word? How about the K word? The R word is the most demeaning word you can say around special need children and it shouldn't be said at all. [/quote] Calling someone "special need" as an adjective is pretty demeaning too. And if someone is developmentally delayed, which is a technical synonym for mentally r-word, it's correct and fine to say it, if it's being used in a clinically appropriate way and not as an insult.
