WWE is partnering with the “Spread the Word to End the Word” campaign today. The campaign highlights the harmful effects the “R-word” has on millions of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their friends and families. WWE is taking a stand against use of the words “retard” or “retarded” and fans can make a pledge at www.r-word.org/wwe. Below are some tweets from today:
