R-Word

I know I've already blogged once, but one of my best friends is at GMU for her Masters in Special Education and specializing in children with autism. One thing I've learned from her is it takes a special type of person to continually work with a person with autism because each child is different. Today, I found this on her Facebook and wanted to share with everyone.

Spread the word to end the word.

    I've seen this. Some students at JMU were petitioning for this as well last year on the commons. It brings up a question I've wrestled with: How can you legislate language? Does it infringe upon First-Amendment Rights?
