Techno Chamber
Lisa Miller in NY Mag: Measles for the One Percent Vaccines, Waldorf schools, and the problem with liberal Luddites. “Liberal American parents have evolved from emulating the Jetsons to emulating the Amish in one generation.” (There are really two stories here. One is about vaccinations. The other is about how sure parents who work in tech are that tech is probably pretty bad for kids.)
+ “Waldorf schools, which are based on the philosophy of Austrian thinker Rudolf Steiner, teach cooperation over competition and a holistic approach to learning. Steiner, who died in 1925, contended that matters of health are better left to nature.” The Guardian: As anti-vaxx dispute rages, attention turns to California’s Waldorf schools.
