Special Olympics fights "R" word

I recently read an article that talked about how many foundations, mainly the Special Olympics, are trying to put a stop to people using the "R" word. They are currently working on a new campaign to spread awareness and hopefully put an end to the word. For one of my classes, I am currently doing a team project for the Special Olympics of Utah. I am curious to see what their campaign turns out like to compare. But back to the article. President Obama was doing a late night show with Jay Leno. They were bowling and apparently our president wasn't doing the best. He then proceeded to comment ...about how his bowling score was one belonging to the Special Olympics. I was very disappoint but think this happens a lot more than we think, the president doing it just made it more public. I hear the "R" almost daily and I think everyone should check themselves because it has become so frequent in our society. While doing a search for a picture to put with this article, I went to google images. I think put special olympics in the search box. My images came up along with related searchs. The "R" word was one of them ... that is really sad!
