Rebel Donut is teaming up with a local organization to wipe out a derogatory word once and for all.

The business, along with Special Olympics New Mexico, has launched a donut campaign to eradicate the R-word. The goal is to promote inclusion and acceptance of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

With each anti-R-word pastry purchase, Rebel Donut will donate 75 cents to Special Olympics New Mexico. The goal is to raise $1,000 during this year's campaign.

Never go full retard

Stupid PC strikes again!

You can call a rock a cupcake, but you shouldn't ever try to eat one.

Nor should these children ever be mainstreamed.

[FreeperCell]

Yup RETARD.

[jonascord]

What else do you call democrats? Retarded.

Yes, it's sad that they got the short end of the DNA stick, or that their pregnant mother put away a quart of Johnny Walker every day.

However, only Leftists try to ban a word because they don't like the truth it imparts.

They can donate to any cause they want, but be very careful trying to dictate free speech. Stick with serving food.

[Impala64ssa]

Racist?

[Lean-Right]

Derogatory in who’s dictionary?

[Cowboy Bob]

Is “Tard” still OK?

When did words cross the dimension of the real into delusional (the D-word) territory?
Wipe out?
Seriously?

Are the promoters of this delusion planning to collect and burn, or rip out pages of every dictionary ever published?

That’s what I thought too - “rebel”.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Yet another leftist attack on science...

Retarded Potential

[alexander_busek]

Whatever new word is used to replace "retarded," that new word, too, will eventually also be considered pejorative.

It's a never-ending struggle and thus ultimately pointless.

When well intentioned retards, in their desperate attempt to "normalize" a sad reality buy airline tickets on a 777 to fly somewhere, or have heart surgery for themselves performed by retards, I will be among the first to admit my error in considering the word a useful one.

[OrangeHoof]

Only a retard would think this could cause elimination of a word.

They are acting like a bunch of n words....
