Censorship on the march
From TVW:
The [Wash state] Senate just unanimously passed a House bill that bans the term “mentally retarded” in state laws and replaces it with “intellectual disability.”
Sen. Dale Brandland said he’s always hated the term “retarded” and that in testimony on the bill, people with intellectual disabilities told lawmakers the word feels disrespectful. He said there’s a man in his district who has been working on this bill for a long time.
= = = = =
Yes, loooong time. Long time. Roof! Roof! Oh Roof!
Not quite a Self-Explanatory Sentence, but close. ¶ 10:00 AM
