Peoples words are almost all the world knows of a people group that can be seemingly invisible. This is a great step, that helps us move just a little closer to valuing people because they are loved and created by ultimate creator for a purpose. We are still in the baby step stage of all of this. We must be committed to living lives and helping others live lives that speak to all peoples value no mater what race, size, shape, ability, or IQ.<br />Those labeled as retards in others casual conversation, in ignorant judgement, and also in the laws and statutes of America, I am sure, would thank those who have pushed this language change in our laws. They would thank those in power who are key holders to unlock the oppression so many have faced for thousands of years. I am sure they would express this...if they had a voice!<br />Little TonyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04595181927976837648noreply@blogger.com
