My daughter went to waldorf for several years. There are
many interesting things about waldorf. And many things
worth discussing. (07)
However, I found that one of the issues that I ended up
dealing with was fundamentalism. It is interesting,
as Karen Armstrong points out in "The Battle for God" ,
there are Christian Fundamentalists, Islamic Fundamentalists
and Jewish fundamentalists. What I discovered is that there
are also Waldorf Fundamentalists. (08)
I helps me to understand that any set of beliefs can have this
form. (09)
