It is often claimed that certain Waldorf Schools do not teach a full Anthroposophical curriculum. This is strange because a Waldorf School is defined by the Anthroposophical curriculum. I have challenged such people to say which bits of the curriculum has the school dropped, which new ideas have they adopted and which bits of Steiner's beliefs do they denounce. I do not get replies to these questions. Perhaps you would like to try.

As for the word 'cult', perhaps you would like to find your own word for an organisation based on initiated beliefs, a secretive religion, occult and magical practices, closed and protective communities, an infallible clairvoyant guru leader, deceptive public practices and an inner circle of initiates with 'secret' knowledge. Once you have that word, share it and we can use it.
