On Wednesday, thousands of Special Olympics athletes, Best Buddies participants and their supporters across the United States -- many of whom are students -- will participate in events to highlight the Special Olympics "Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign, designed to challenge and educate people about the hurtful use of the word "retard" and encourage others to think before they speak. Students are leading events in nearly every major city, designed to solicit pledges from people on www.r-word.org not to use the "R-word."
