Anthroposophy and Ecofascism 122

Continuing my commentary on the 37th paragraph of Peter Staudenmaier's Anthroposophy and Ecofascism.

Mr. Peter Staudenmaier's further conjecture, that his ten-second investigation "suggests" that everything tens of thousands of parents over eight decades know about the school that they have chosen to send their children to is completely wrong, is the height of incompetent scholarship. Waldorf's reputation has not been won on a multi-million dollar advertising campaign. Rather, Waldorf's reputation is the result of decades of results. And the Waldorf movement is not the fastest growing pedagogical movement in the world because it abuses and mis-educates children. Almost every Waldorf school in the world (over seven hundred and counting) started as a parent initiative, and grew from the enthusiasm of parents who are deeply concerned with their children's education. If Mr. Peter Staudenmaier's allegations here were even remotely accurate there would simply be no Waldorf movement and Steiner's pedagogical indications would be a footnote in history.
