1. Every variation of totalitarian thought is based on the central theme of an all-encompassing state that centralizes power.
Just as that description applies to Nazism, socialism, communism, it is a gross error to imagine that Progressivism is based on any other desire.
To accomplish said aim, no departure from the orthodoxy of Progressivism can be allowed.
Progressive Woodrow Wilson succinctly explained how it must be done: : “Our problem is not merely to help students to adjust to themselves to world life…[but] to make them as unlike their fathers as we can.”
Michael McGerr, “A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, 1870-1920,” p. 111
2. And here is Obama, endorsing the same view, that children must be turned into statist robots:
"U.S. President Barack Obama gives the commencement address to the graduating class of The Ohio State University at Ohio Stadium on May 5, 2013 in Columbus, Ohio.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted."

4. " While homeschooling has become more mainstream in recent years, it remains in the eyes of its critics a threat to public schools, public health—and even democracy itself. Social welfare officials and local politicians in some states have subjected homeschooling families to treatment bordering on harassment.

Progressive's support for diversity is 100%.....unless diversity actually appears.
