For the record, I don't care. When you can post a link from some official source that says that term isn't valid I'll consider using a different 1, but I currently don't know a different 1.
All this blather about whether it's the right term or not is a dodge. And it's a boring 1 at that. The topic isn't what should we call retarded people, it's who should we spend more money on.
Your apathy is the #1 thing that is wrong with our generation. You seem to be a shining example of that.
As for spending $$$, special education is an after thought in most public school systems. They are lucky they get any money at all.
As for another term, the correct term is mentally challenged.
