    Foundation for the Retarded of the Desert renames itself DesertArc

    By STEVE MOORE
    The Press-Enterprise

    PALM DESERT – For nearly a half-century, the organization called itself the Foundation for the Retarded of the Desert.

    When the nonprofit started in 1959, the word “retarded” was a widely used clinical term. But over the decades, the word became stigmatized with cruel jokes by comedians and actors and schoolyard taunts.

    On Tuesday, the organization serving the developmentally disabled got an entirely new name: DesertArc.

    Staff members and clients of the DesertArc in Palm Desert work in the embroidery room. The board of the agency, which serves the developmentally disabled, decided unanimously to change its name.

    The agency, started by a small group of parents, now provides vocational, rehabilitation, recreational and other services for more than 740 clients.

    After a news conference, executive director Richard Balocco said, “It’s really for them (the clients). A name is a name, but they had a name they found offensive.

    “And they couldn’t understand why we couldn’t move faster to remove it because they felt it labeled them,” he said.

    For several years, the agency has wanted to change its name.

    About two dozen names were considered before the agency’s board unanimously chose DesertArc. Focus groups and other research were used.

    This guy is stuck between a rock and a ‘tard place.

  25. hartpg says:

    I think this is part of their adult day care program.

    “We’ll play hide and seek today boys and gals. Go squat near a rock then we’ll come find you after we drink our coffee”

  26. Kristopher says:

    I don’t get it. That man is in exactly the facility he needs to be in.

    His defiant hand gestures indicate that he needs more medication, however.

  27. dmccall says:

    More PC BS. This isn’t a fail just because a foundation used the word “retarded”. Sticks and stones…

  28. mirk says:

    Wait, isn’t this next door to the Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to do Other Things Good Too?

  29. scornflakes says:

    Their original name was “Church of the Morons of Salt Lake”.

  30. Cloral says:

  35. Zeldafan500 says:

    I get it, the rock is the foundation because foundations are made out of rock.

  36. johhny Malcost says:

  49. Thormungandr says:

    This man is actually my former Youth pastor and hes a great guy. You people that are calling him a douche can eff off. He purposely took a picture with that sign because he thought it was funny. He is actually also a comedian by the name of Buzzy Ennis. Look him up if you don’t believe me.

  50. Zeelee says:

    Wow. Just wow.
