Brian, It's OK ambassador

I love to relate the story of Brian, a kindergarten student who last year spread the message of respect, easily. As part of the Understanding Disabilities segment of It's OK, we had been part of Arc's campaign to eliminate the "R" word (retard) from our vocabulary. When he heard his grandmother using the word, he politely explained, "We don't use that word anymore because it may hurt someone's feelings." His grandmother's gracious response was, "Thank you and tell me more so that I can let my friends know." This is one more illustration of how young children can be the ones who help promote understanding. Thank you Brian.
