    Progressive == liberal

    The original progressives were white chauvinist eugenicists. They were also all liberals.

    Much like american libs would like you to believe it means something different now (it doesn't), self-identified progressives would say the same thing. It doesn't.

    Aware of her continued influence, community leaders in Hills­borough invited Payne to a forum in 2014. Baptiste, the education chair of the Tampa NAACP, shared a series of polite emails the two exchanged.

    But Payne never came. She said the NAACP would not pay her expenses and harbored "almost a vendetta" against her.

    The Rev. Russell Meyer, who works with area civil rights groups, said he was not surprised the teachers in Orlando liked Payne's message. "They don't have to change anything that they think or believe or do," he said.

    Yeah she sounds like a progressive. https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/k12/education-guru-ruby-payne-is-she-wrong-about-kids-in-poverty-or/2237083/
