Thanks for the rant.
How about this one?
"If the blonds and blue-eyed people die out, the human race will become increasingly dense...Blond hair actually bestows intelligence. In the case of fair people, less nourishment is driven into the eyes and hair; it remains instead in the brain and endows it with intelligence. Brown- and dark-haired people drive the substances into their eyes and hair that the fair people retain in their brains."
In fact, Steiner schools don't actually teach this stuff, but it is rooted in the anthroposphy which the schools are based in.
They get away with it by saying they don't "teach" this to the children
What is intersting is that the books on the reading list for the teachers have many of these ideas in them.
Here for instance
""For peoples and races are but steps leading to pure humanity. A race or a
nation stands so much the higher, the more perfectly its members express the
pure, ideal human type, the further they have worked their way from the
physical and perishable to the supersensible and imperishable. The evolution
of man through the incarnations in ever higher national and racial forms is
thus a process of liberation. Man must finally appear in harmonious
perfection." Rudolf Steiner, Knowledge of Higher Worlds, 207
So the teachers are told to read these books as part of their traing, but then they say, we don't teach this to the children.
The fact is that these ideas permeate the class room.
it's inevitable.
#And yes, hoiw can the government be giving hereford Steiner school academy status, and millions of state money, when their belief system/pseudo religion/cult whatever you want to call it, is so dubiously questionable?
Lets hope the press, or someone picks up on this soon.
