Sign the Petition

Many of you might be aware of the controversy surrounding the movie "Tropic Thunder." In the movie the characters make fun of people with special needs and use the "r word." Since no one I know would go see the movie I hadn't really thought about getting involved, but then I heard that they're selling shirts on e-bay with lines from the movie that use the r word. That did it. There's a petition you can sign, by going to ipetitions.com and clicking on the Tropic Thunder petition. The text for the petition is a letter written by the mother of a child with Down syndrome, very moving. I hate the thought of Noah someday understanding how cruel people can be.
