Spread The Word To End the word is a world-wide movement to get people to stop using the word retarded. The R-word is a derogatory term that sets a wrongful stigma on many people throughout our community. The WCU Adapted PE program proudly supports Spread The Word To End The Word and offers the opportunity for people in the community to take the Pledge each year.
