Spread the Word to End the Word 2016

Cabot High School students held a “Spread the Word to End the Word” event during both lunch periods Wednesday.

Dozens of CHS students, teachers, and staff pledged to stop using the R-word (retard, retarded). This is the third year for CHS to host the event. Senior Trea Kiser is the coordinator and has been a huge advocate for inclusion of all students.

He says, “I want everyone to join me in taking a stand to raise awareness of the dehumanizing and hurtful effects of the R-word. The language we choose affects everyone around us. Help me build communities of inclusion by pledging to end your use of the R-word, and then Spread the Word to End the Word to your friends.”

Over 500,000 people have pledged their support online since the campaign launched in 2009.

For more information, visit www.r-word.org and take the pledge.

Thank you to THV11 and KARK4 for covering the event.
