I thank Cathy Mindel, mother of Eric with WS, for sending out the following alert to WS parents. It deals with a crude slur against individuals who are retarded by Politically Incorrect host Bill Maher. I warn you, the contents are appalling, but I felt it was necessary so parents would be able to have to opportunity to do something about it. The ABC network has since removed the transcript of Maher's remarks from its archives. They're kind, but they don't mentally advance at all.

I've never thought of him like a little dog. Well, maybe you should. But I don't think you ought to use the word retarded. I don't think that's right. But they're not a regular person.
