As an aside, as a parent of children with special needs and as a person who works in public K-12 education professionally, I respectfully ask that community members rethink the casual use of the R-word. I understand that most times, it's not intentional or meant maliciously. I would prefer to turn this into a teaching moment rather than a fight.
If anyone would like to discuss this topic, please hit me up privately so that we don't turn this forum into a socio-political hotbed.
