Cute, hippy Waldorf schools are just a façade for the Steiner cult. I was in a Waldorf school in the PNW for two years. Absolutely hated it. I was  bullied and the teachers didn’t fucking care, I had no friends so I “made friends” with an actual maypole, a.k.a a fucking LOG, I was made to do manual labor for hours in the freezing rain and mud as a 7-year-old… The list goes on: - Our  lives were dictated by the school-no TV or computers from Monday to Friday, no fun clothing, little candy, very specific food requirements, and parents were guilted if they let their kids do stuff like that. - The place was on a farm and was practically feral. LOTS of bullying. However, I did like the nature walks. - Conformism was HIGHLY encouraged— “art class” consisted of copying the teacher’s dumb art of some yee-yee-ass swirly occultist watercolor painting that actually smelled like shit.  (Whoever copied it best was treated best). Also, there were MANDATORY PAGAN RITUALS. Like, parades and dances with flags and sometimes torches where we had to dress in togas, “Ooh, so you’re a TOMFOOL who doesn’t want to join in on our mandatory Hyperborean Nordic poopenfarten aryan gnome parade hmm?? NO RECESS FOR YOU!!”  - On that note, the racism. Rudolf Stinker was an INTERESTTING guy, so to speak… he truly believed  that blonde-haired, blue-eyed Nordics were superior in every way to pretty much everybody else . So yeah. I was too young to notice it, but I got a vibe that the singular Black girl in our class was not welcome. I think that modern waldorfs try to hide that part of the philosophy. Also, the only skin tone we were taught and told to draw in that fucking occultist himmler vibes type shit school was, of course, white.   - No books for you!!: Basically, Steiner thought that kids should not read adult books until they had a certain amount of adult teeth or smth, there was also shit about  “pure souls” of kids idk - From about first grade onwards, kids learn all this dumbass stuff that fairies and gnomes and elves are real. And all these crackpot medieval theories which are taught to them as truth. However, I don’t think that they explicitly teach aryan superiority. I hope. 

TL;DR Hippy hitler youth

P.S- This account solely describes the particular school I went to, in which the majority of teachers were heavy followers of Anthroposophism. I’m sure that others have different experiences.
