Nonsense, I don't believe it. Someone decides we must call kids mentally challenged, because retarded carries a stigma. So what do people do when they hear mentally challenged? They translate to retarded in their head and any stigma they had attached or accepted is dragged along to the new phrase. All they've accomplished is giving more ammo to the PC Patrols to further divide people.
