With many Waldorf schools declaring themselves anti-racist schools the culture war has reached Waldorf education. Anti-racist education is a materialistic worldview that believes the way you change people is to change the external world. Waldorf education is based on a spiritualistic worldview that believes the way you change the world is to change people through proper human development.

Rudolf Steiner described the human ideal as an ethical individualist. You will know an ethical individualist by their attitude on certain issues.
When we are forced to act in a politically correct way we are not free and we are not moral. This video shows how the teachings of Jordan Peterson are very similar to Rudolf Steiner's teachings in The Philosophy Of Freedom.
The motto of Rudolf Steiner's Philosophy Of Freedom is that truth empowers creative activity. Video text is from The Philosophy Of Freedom By Rudolf Steiner 1894 Preface (original chapter 1): "The Goal Of Knowledge"
Jordan Peterson and Rudolf Steiner agree that the path forward that will do the most good and protect the world from tyrannical collectivism is to strengthen the sovereignty of the individual. This is the fundamental difference between social justice ideology and freedom philosophy. Social justice ideology favors group identity and collectivism over valuing and respecting the sovereignty of the individual.
The text for the video is the first paragraph of the original 1894 unedited Philosophy Of Freedom by Rudolf Steiner. The Philosophy Of Freedom begins by describing its fundamental principle, the sovereignty of the individual. Individual sovereignty is the basis for freedom, human dignity and personal responsibility.

If you are a student, parent or educator concerned about the take over of Rudolf Steiner's Waldorf Education by Social Justice activists contact Tom. I am looking for comments, stories and concerns about what is happening to Waldorf Education. You may remain anonymous but your stories must be told. The Marist political ideology of the social justice movement has no place in Waldorf education as it stands in direct opposition to Rudolf Steiner's principles of freedom.
WALDORF INSIDER REPORTS: "Hey heads up- Waldorf schools are being completely taken over by the Leftist Cult Religion of Woke. Take it from an insider. Waldorf Education has now completely abandoned the teachings & principles of Steiner, or has twisted them to fit the contemporary identity politics woke agenda. Waldorf Education is now a factory of Leftist Cult Indoctrination."

Is this image of a white child wearing a gold crown evidence of systemic racism in Waldorf Education? Should this little girl be confronted with her white privilege? It will happen in the New social justice Waldorf Schools in one way or another. It is so obvious to everyone else that social justice ideology is a joke that has no credibility outside the bubble of the Woke.
Statement of Inclusion and Equity
We, the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America, recognize the historic and ongoing impact of racism on our continent and the injustice and discrimination faced by black, brown and minority communities. We understand that inclusivity and equity is a journey of both moral and educational imperative. As such, we take seriously our responsibility to bear witness to what is happening in the world, to elevate the voices of marginalized people, to change the course of inequities, and to break down structural racism in all forms where it exists, particularly in Waldorf education.
Waldorf education espouses principles of respect for human dignity. Any narratives or indications made by Rudolf Steiner that are in contradiction to this principle are not the basis for Waldorf education and we unequivocally denounce such statements.
We know that we have far to go as an association and as individuals in our understanding of oppression and social justice. Advancing DEI is one of the compelling forces behind AWSNA’s strategic priorities. These priorities make equity and inclusion central to our work and aim to bring us closer to the world that we want for our youth.
The AWSNA executive team is spending more time than ever asking the following questions:
· How do I participate, consciously or unconsciously, in systemic racism?
· What meaningful actions will I take in service to the leadership and agency of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color?
· Where are the possibilities for me to prioritize racial justice in my work to further Waldorf education?..... WHAT???? Waldorf principles are not the priority anymore??
· How do I actively engage in anti-racism both personally and professionally'?

transcript
You can ask yourself this question: When things collapse around you, how much utility is knowledge of your own moral virtue? It’s bad to be laid low, but worse to be laid low and to know that you were at fault for it and that the things you did that you knew were wrong brought you...
