The Fillmore High School Project Unify Club held a pledge signing drive on March 5 to “Spread the Word to End the Word”. The word retard(ed) hurts millions of people with intellectual disabilities, their families and friends. Over 800 Fillmore High School students and staff have taken the pledge, “I pledge to and support the elimination of the derogatory use of the r-word from everyday speech and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.” Make your pledge at www.r-word.org.
