So...if regress is to go backward.... and regressive would be a descriptor of something that regresses...
What are these alleged "SJWs" doing to take society backward?
One cannot be progressive and regressive at the same time.
Progressives are wanting to move FORWARD.
So, you take an issue like gun control. Conservatives (or the right, as it were) want to adhere to a document written in the 1700s for this issue and never do they wish to stray.
Progressives (aka "the left" and "SJWs" and "snowflakes") want to move FORWARD and enact sensible legislation.
They want to reinterpret the 2nd amendment. Some even want to repeal it.
How's that remotely regressive?
I think clinging to a notion of nonexistent militias and their nonexistent regulated nature are regressive, per the definition of the word.
I will go ahead and assume that "regressive SJW" is a term coined by a person with a weak grasp of the English language, as is so often found in types who don't read much.
In addition to the post above ^, I would add another really recent example is Chuck Schumer couldn't support a judicial nomination because of the color of his skin. In what sick world is that "progress"?
Camera Hogg was accepted into UC Irvine. Finally! Close enough to still go on auditions although UCLA would have been better.
UCLA and Berkley are tied at #1 as the top public colleges in the nation. UVirginia is #3. To get into any of those schools takes much more than high grades; they all demand either strong influence or strong connections to the schools. It also helps to be a state resident student.
Rightly so; the state taxpayers foot the bill, so residents who qualify are always given first preference. California has 4 of the top 10 public colleges. #8 is UC Santa Barbara, and #9 is UC Irvine. Getting an admission as an out-of-stater to any of them is a big achievement. Being admitted to any of the Top 10 is a high achievement.
So Irvine ain't bad, considering the competition. And once there, Hogg could be possibly admitted to UCLA next year as a sophomore, or as a junior, a senior, or for his Master's degree if he chooses to go on and get it.
He may find Irvine is a better fit for him. It is the smallest of those 4, while UCLA is the largest.
A degree from any of the Top 10 guarantees a good job with a well-earned Batchelor's degree, and assures an easier entry into the Ivy League for a Master's degree.
I don't expect David Hogg will continue to be one of the movement figureheads he is now once he begins college. None of the Top 10 got there by being easy on their students, and even very well-prepared Freshman will suddenly be more academically challenged as soon as they start than at any time in their young lives.
Every other kid in every class he takes will be just as smart and disciplined as he is, so he will find the grade competition to be intense and fierce in every class he takes. He won't have the time to lead the Parkland group, especially from 2,700 miles away.
Sorry REDZIN..you are wrong. Wanting to remove something that we have had for centuries is regressing back to a time before we had that constitutional RIGHT. So, Liberals want to take us back to a time when we were ruled by the King of England..how is that progress?
And please, I wish liberals would stop using emotional "Buzz words" like "SENSIBLE gun laws". Who makes the ditermination of what is "Sensible"?
Regressing to what? As far as I know, people always had guns in this country, before this even WAS a country.
So, what would it be regressing TO?
Modifying or removing a right isn't "regressing" if the state of the country once this is done is improved for the citizenry.
That is what progress means. It's like saying we always used lead paint, so removing the lead and using safer paint is "regressive."
That's just silly.

If his sole reason for rejecting the nominee was skin color and there were no other factors, yes, that would not make sense and I would not support it.
If his reason was that he was concerned that the court wasn't diverse enough, it's not about skin color, it's about diversity. It's about having a court that is made up of people who more closely represent the demographics of the country they represent.
So... what was it?

I read somewhere that he was going to take a gap year before matriculating.
