Many parents and people with intellectual disabilities have explained how hurtful it is to hear their child or their intellectual disability being associated with an insult. The words "retard" and "retarded" are being used as a synonym for stupid. Loved ones of people with disabilities or people with those disabilities do not want them associated with the word stupid.
