People for Legal and Non-Sectarian Schools (PLANS) is an organization based in California in the United States which campaigns against the public funding of Waldorf methods charter schools alleging they violate the United States Constitution's separation of church and state. The group claims independent Waldorf schools and public Waldorf methods charter schools teach anthroposophical content, that this content is religious in nature, and that the schools disguise the anthroposophical content from the public. PLANS filed federal suit in 1998 against two California public school districts, Sacramento City Unified School District and Twin Ridges Elementary School District, to halt the Waldorf methods educational programs implemented in two of their schools. The case was ultimately dismissed on its merits in 2012. The group was founded in 1995 and became a California non-profit corporation in 1997. Its founding officers, president Debra Snell and secretary Dan Dugan are former Waldorf school parents. The organization numbered less than 50 members when the lawsuit was brought.〔Deposition testimony by Debra Snell, PLANS vs SCUSD, TRESD 1999〕 == Mission statement == The group describes its mission as to # "Provide parents, teachers, and school boards with views of Waldorf education from outside the cult of Rudolf Steiner." # "Expose the illegality of public funding for Waldorf school programs in the US." # "Litigate against schools violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment in the US." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PLANS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
