If attempted, I would hope that within that process of 'trying' everyone realised they do not want connection to 'Waldorf'. Even taking out the 'racism' should be enough to topple the system as it is a major player/pillar holding up the pretty face. This is now where I am at. However, we are trying to get people to look at his writings! This in itself is so hard. When we first brought this to the MoE's attention, we focused on the racism - due to what we have heard from teachers but also thinking that as we have a Treaty, are a bi-cultural country with multi-cultural people living in it, we thought we would stand a better chance at bringing about change regarding this subject. We thought the governt would not want to fund a racist philosophy - what they have done, according to the latest correspondence from the ministry, is gone and met with the Federation of NZ Steiner schools to teach them how to respond appropriately to the racism and concerns of racism. However, I personally, do not know why anyone would want to keep the Waldorf name. I personally think these schools should not be publicly funded and then they would "die out gracefully" (to quote my friend Colins). And yes,no body wants to look at it or update anything.

The people who own the name wouldn't agree with this. It would be like taking the noodles out of spaghetti. To have something that isn't inherently racist, the schools need to change to something that isn't Waldorf. That would be a good thing in my opinion. Nobody is in any hurry to update teacher training materials as far as I know.The Waldorf Reviewhttp://thewaldorfreview.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268549717815146574.post-84030947878481266652014-09-01T13:21:25.940-07:002014-09-01T13:21:25.940-07:00Also, I have to ask, in the comments section of th...Also, I have to ask, in the comments section of the Listener article a person from the Dunedin school wrote, claiming that a published white supremest teacher and Trust member had been dismissed from the Dunedin school - does this mean it wasn't Colin? I had assumed it was. But it appears that there may be more than one orbiting around the school.

I heard them myself, not only from Te Ra Waldorf school, but also from other teachers here in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the teacher training center. I was not the only staff member who heard them. Six of us left, along with others from different Steiner kindergartens (who heard the same ideas) and many parents. The longer anthroposophists claim their belief or faith does not include ideas regarding 'degenerative' races, the sillier they, and the whole philosophy, looks. It is great all schools in NZ now have 'declarations' against this "unknown" racism, but this is just the start. What does taking 'race' out from the reincarnating child do? What is now the purpose of this reincarnation? Is karma still a factor? The hard work is yet to come, dissecting Steiner's writings so those who are trained in Steiner education understand what is morally right and what is repugnant. Colin's ideas (Steiner's) are repugnant and have no place in education in any country - even in 1936.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252955710629544644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268549717815146574.post-39333997818681550722014-08-31T16:13:40.700-07:002014-08-31T16:13:40.700-07:00Colin's opinion is not isolated.

I heard, first hand, teachers from different Waldorf schools and training institutions, here in Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas, with very similar ideas - that the 'older' races' have had their time, and should die out gracefully. This is Steiner's idea. This is why 6 staff left Te Ra Waldorf school and many parents took their children out. Anthroposophists need to stop denying what is inherent in their ideas around human/child development and start changing them - publicly, so all parents know their children are safe. The declarations all schools have now in NZ as a response to the article is just the first step. Now the hard work must begin - sifting through Steiner's writings (which teachers read for training and pleasure), and weed out how his ideas link directly and in-directly to Waldorf education today. This needs to be done by an independent group, not through the anthroposophical lens (which is so flawed). The final ministerial report from our original complaint makes fascinating, frightening reading, and in no way states that the school is cleared of racism, as some have claimed.

Did you just want to be around school children?<br /><br />"My views are mine alone and are not representative of any organisation." <br /><br />Ah, except that they COMPLETELY AGREE with Steiner's views on colonization... what a coincidence? It's like the teacher who taught Steiner's racist ideas to my kids wasn't representing Waldorf... only herself. So Colin, if you didn't get your ideas on colonization from Steiner, what is the source for these ideas that both you and Steiner are in agreement with?The Waldorf Reviewhttp://thewaldorfreview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268549717815146574.post-25110231672031150102014-08-07T17:46:07.878-07:002014-08-07T17:46:07.878-07:00Clare Ridout is correct.

He has never been employed as a teacher here, but volunteered for an hour a week at the school. In 2012 he withdrew when it became clear that some of his views were in conflict with the values of the school, and with the school's commitment to honouring the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. <br />Any statement that Mr Rawle makes is his own personal opinion and is not representative of the Dunedin school or of Steiner Education in New Zealand. To our knowledge he has not taught at any Steiner School in New Zealand. It is therefore a surprise to hear him described as a “veteran Steiner Teacher who has worked at many of the movement’s New Zealand institutions”.<br />Clare Ridout, Dunedin Rudolf Steiner Schoolnoreply@blogger.com
