Parents of teenagers,

Your high school and middle school children are using the r word again, a lot. They’re just tossing it around like it’s ok.

Please, please, please speak with your kids about the pain and harm caused from that slur.

We should not be having this discussion in 2025. Help me.

Are you saying President Trump, Chancellor Musk, VP Vance, and Secretary Hegseth are not role models?

dude if a dumb ass short bus nazi can call a fucking astronaut a full retard, he deserves his title to be shouted.

It’s hard when the unelected president of this country uses his social media to call anyone who disagrees with him that name….

Nobody has ever actually cared about that word, the euphemism treadmill turns ever onward.

Thanks, Elon. Thanks, MAGA.
Bullies cause unnecessary pain, nuisance, and agony, and this is their brand and makes them feel so superior.

Too little, too late. It should've been nipped in the bud when they started using -ard as a suffix. Because it wasn't, they segwayed into full usage of the term.

Unfortunately the only way to fight this fire is with fire. They hate it when called you call them Retardlicans.
They stop real quick

oh for fucks sake... its a WORD. it means "to slow development" its not a goddamned slur. scientists dont "the r slur" the growth of bacteria. if you use it as an insult youre an asshole, but its NOT a slur. the right is complaining the scientific word Cis is a slur, do you agree?

Musk had no issue using it, recently. Trump did, too. Maybe the teenagers (and their parents) saw it as a nod of acceptance.

Not sure why anyone would choose to use that word.

The purpose of an insult is to insult.
