The Face of Progressivism

Many people will throw the word 'progressive' around and intend for it to have a negative connotation. Well, newsflash: one of the many facets of progressivism is the protection of the weak from the abuses perpetrated upon them by the more powerful. That also extends to the educational environment and Massachusetts has now passed the most progressive anti-bullying legislation in the country.

Next time you think about using the word 'progressive' as a synonym of any negative word you can conjure up, think of this law and put a face on it. Then kindly rephrase your statement.
