Why should it mean anything to me? You are the one that is opting to send your children to a school that has rather nefarious philosophical underpinnings. I would ascertain exactly how instructors were taught and what materials were used for their instruction.
Appeal to emotion and speaks nothing of understanding how your Waldorf instructors were taught themselves.
No, my claims are based upon Steiner's own writings and you are speaking as an apologist for him and his vile racist swill. So much for being a sceptic.
Morally impaired! In which way?
And anti-vax is exclusive?
Examples please of this bigotry and moral-devoid behavior.
Good for you, good luck.
What nonsense, you have provided absolutely no evidence of racism in Waldorf schools, only hearsay.
On your say so? I don't think so; I have provided numerous texts that instructors use for their training, numerous, direct translations of Steiner's works (and can provide many many more) and you? A single, biased, apologist website and your acceptance of Waldorf schooling. Thin gruel indeed.
Anyone who could read Steiner's philosophy, see it for what it is, and not object to it, or who embraces it, has a moral compass in dire need of overhaul.
Could you elaborate please?
Direct quotes from the man himself and texts used for instructors, that contain his philosophy are hardly hearsay.
Considering you don't even know how your Waldorf instructors are taught and what materials are used, yes, you are relying upon a simple appeal to emotion. That and the intellectual equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and singing lalalaIcan'thearyoulalala.Ah, so now you are an expert on what I know, very good
Something you have shown to have very little knowledge of and I am speaking as myself, you can take your labels elsewhere thanks.
Never even heard of that site; I go to the source and Steiner's bile is (sadly) easily obtained.
Simply listing links to some of Steiner's text does not cut it. You are the one making the claims of racism and you need to provide the actual quotes and explain what is racist in them.
Steiner had a PhD in philosophy. Have you read his PhD thesis on the philosophy of Fichte (Truth and Knowledge) and his follow up (Philosophy of Freedom)? This is Steiner's philosophy. Please go read it and then come back and tell us in detail were it is lacking in morality.
You are critical when it comes to correlations between allergies and waldorf schoolers, but selective when it comes to anti-vax supporters and waldorf parents.
None of the texts you quoted contain Steiner's Philosophy, try again.
It would seem my emotion is intellectually superior to your feeble attempt at an ad hom.
Its not a site, "Peter Staudenmaier ' is a person like you with a chip on his shoulder and the lack of honesty to admit it, but at least he makes the effort to try back up his claims with his own words.
Take your time.
Steiner's beliefs is Anthroposophy and the foundation for Steiner/Waldorf instruction.
Not a great analogy, in my opinion. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery. So yes, the original doctrine is rife with issues that have become rather obsolete, morally and ethically repugnant and just plain irrelevant. BUT, the anticipation of changes were built in. That is not the case with Anthroposophy, which is nothing more than a religion actually. Until Anthrosophical organisations admit to the silly occultism and racist underpinnings of their religion/philosophy and make efforts to remove them from Steiner schools, then they are what they are. Although once they remove those, there won't be a whole lot left.
