Sure, but saying “Stupid is as stupid does”, takes a lot more effort to type. When someone calls out a ‘Libtard’ it is likely because of the choices said libtard has made.

You and your son should simply say: “He has an extra chromosome, resulting in Down Syndrome. Would you like either of us to explain it to you?” — That will have the immediate effect of shutting down the bully/tormenter, and boosting your son’s self respect.

You’re free to continue to shy away from the “R” word, or embrace the definition which simply states that certain developmental states are reached later in a ‘retarded’ person than the statistical norm for the population.

Words only have the power you give them to make you ‘feel bad’. Words have meaning which allows the users to convey ideas.

I don’t label ‘libtards’ with the word in hops that I might convert them into respectable citizens. I call them that to warn respectable citizens that someone is spouting nonsense, and has takes affirmative steps to embrace the label. I then attach the label to show them I have recognized their accomplishment! Because that’s what they’re after — recognition that they’ve fully embraced all the left-wing talking points, have forfeited critical thought, base their arguments on emotion, etc. All the traits that can be summed up by Forrest Gump’s litany: “Stupid is as stupid does.”
