My mother was a school teacher in the late 60's through the seventies.
In the earlier years they had a special ed class for retarded children.
Then sometime around '68 or '69 a memorandum came down from the states
department of education that declared that these children were no longer
to be referred to as retarded as it was considered a derogatory label.
They were to be referred to in the school system as the academically
challenged. The programs that they attended were to be called special
education programs as opposed to classes for the retarded.

You can change the label on the package but the contents are the same
so you are right be polite.
