From Wikipedia
Authors, scientists, and physicians including Michael Shermer, Michael Ruse, Edzard Ernst, David Gorski, and Simon Singh have criticized anthroposophy's application in the areas of medicine, biology, agriculture, and education to be dangerous and pseudoscientific.[17][11][12][13] Others including former Waldorf pupil Dan Dugan and historian Geoffrey Ahern have criticized anthroposophy itself as a dangerous quasi-religious movement that is fundamentally anti-rational and anti-scientific.[14][15][16][17][18]
They are anti Vax, believe in "Lucifer" and their single source of truth come from Steiner "visions" aka hallucinations under psychedelics or more likely blatant lies.
- odessacubbage 7y agoi think people overestimate how much of the goofy theosophy stuff is actually part of the day-to-day education, it serves more as window dressing than anything else tbh. it's odd and in some ways anachronistic but at it's core i think the waldorf model works well because it treats children as children rather than products and liabilities. frankly the weird hippy bullshit was better than being treated like a potential school shooter because you have problems at home.
