We welcome suggestions from PLANS supporters around the world. If you have concerns about Waldorf Education anywhere - please join our group.
PLANS has plans to
get the word out about Waldorf. We will advertise in magazines targeted
to parents and teachers. We intend to send a pamphlet to every school
board member in the U.S.A. We want to file suits against school
districts that sponsor Waldorf programs or charter schools. All these
things cost money.
- Help keep Anthroposophy (a new-age
religion) out of public schools
- Provide critical information to school authorities, teachers, parents, and media
- Support our litigation to clarify the
religious nature of Anthroposophy
Waldorf is very attractive on the surface. School boards want to believe the false advertising of those who sell Waldorf aggressively. Now it's time for an objective decision on the legality of public Waldorf programs in the U.S. In February of 1998 we sued two Northern California school districts in federal court, alleging violation of the constitutional separation of church and state. Our lawyers anticipate our first case could cost $180,000 US. As of April, 2000, our legal fees had come to about $46,000 US. The school districts have insurance policies to pay for their legal costs, but so far we have had only one grant, $14,000 US. from the Pacific Justice
Institute,
and that was all spent in 1999. Our day-to-day expenses are paid out of
the pockets of the all-volunteer PLANS board. We need donations to carry
on our work. Please let us know that you support our cause. No amount is
too small.
