<p>I disagree. I don't think calling someone retarded implies that retarded people should be blamed for their birth defects/accidents.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I think it trivializes the historical oppression that goes with expressions like "nigger" and the host of other racial slurs(or "gay") to compare it with "retarded" which at worst is using a term synonmous to it's actual meaning.</p>
<p>Another thing, more 11th graders qualified for MOSP this year than the last 5 years or so.</p>
