Critical race theory is being embraced by Waldorf Schools amid the national controversy over the harmful effects it has on children. This movement has been described as a woke religious cult or a Marxist political revolution by some and the salvation of the world by others. We are putting together a group to discuss this issue and look at a pro-human alternative. We will be posting YouTube videos to share the results of our discussions. If you would like to participate to share your views and Waldorf school stories please contact Tom.
See the introduction of the FAIR Pro-Human Learning Standards (download PDF) (healthy and legal alternative to critical race theory anti-racism curriculum). Much of CRT is illegal for racial stereotyping and labeling students oppressed/oppressor. Waldorf schools that teach it may soon be facing lawsuits. The FAIR curriculum resources and lesson plans are coming in August.
FAIR core learning concepts
Humanity
Understanding
Fairness
Diversity
"How can we understand the diversity of different cultural, ancestral backgrounds in the light of our common humanity? How can we understand each other with our different backgrounds, unique talents, and abilities with an emphasis on fairness for all?"

Rudolf Steiner 1920: "I very much wanted my Philosophy Of Freedom to sound a clarion call for the exact opposite of what we see happening today (Marx inspired communist revolution in Russia)... It makes it absolutely necessary for us, in our future efforts, to recognize that the social order must be built in a way that is made possible only by free thinking and by social trust...
Today's Critical Social Justice movement is a modern version of Marx's Conflict Theory of oppressed vs oppressor applied to identity groups. 100 years later, a Marxist inspired revolution is again attacking the conditions necessary for social harmony--free thinking and social trust. So again The Philosophy Of Freedom sounds "a clarion call for the exact opposite of what we see happening today."
I am aligning Social Justice cognitive theories (red) with Steiner's (blue) for a comparison video.
