Note the false dichotymy.

The meaning of 'liberal progressivist philosophy' can be explored at sites such as the following:

Progressivism
Progressive Education (e.g. John Dewey, Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori)
Liberal Education
Liberalism (a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality)


See also the critique of 'liberal humanism' in Martin (1992: 577-88).
