BEDFORD, Texas -- Two years ago, Katie Pullano stood up to a teacher who used an offensive word during class.
"A
teacher in the seventh grade said that something a student had done was
retarded," said Pullano, a ninth-grader at Harwood Junior High School.
"I told her the connotation of the word doesn't come off right. She
shouldn't be teaching it to teens."
An argument ensued but, Pullano said, the teacher eventually accepted her position and respected her objection.
