Perplexed as to why people are peeved about the word "retard?" Mystified
about why disability advocates are all worked up over a movie?
Listen to WBAI Pacifica Radio at 99.5FM 11AM EST today (Thursday) as the
Lawrence Carter-Long from the Disabilities Network and disTHIS! dissects
the "Tropic Thunder" controversy with Tim Shriver of the Special Olympics,
Peter Bern from the ARC and representatives of the Self-Advocacy
Association of NYS on "The Largest Minority" radio show.
Outside of NYC, one can listen live via the web from:
