Nefarious agenda, and Steiner knew it back then. These people play the long game.

I don't know what to think about some of this. I lived in a small town with a Waldorf school. they set it up for the children of the "back to the land" hippie community, but those that mostly sent their children to it were people who moved to the town from cities and the tuition quickly out-priced most of the original intended people. Many of those wished that a Montessori school would have been chosen instead. I did get to read a fair amount of Steiner's writing. My take away was that no matter how bright or what a Leader/philosopher may be or not be, after his passing the "priesthood" set up to continue his tradition takes on a life of its own that often has little to do with the original message.

When Covid happened and the "vaccine-not-a-vaccine" came out the waldorf parents lined up to take, as you so aptly phrased it, "the transubstantiation of the sacred needle craft." I guess they missed the "Your Soul is the Virus they Seek to Obliterate" part of Steiner's writing. I was also dismayed that a large percent of the "back to the land" hippies who were engaged in organic anti-GMO gardening and farming also lined up for the jabs making themselves genetically modified organisms (GMO).
