Thou shalt not snub

A Swedish school confiscated birthday party invitations handed out by an 8-year-old pupil because he failed to invite two of his classmates, violating their rights, and possibly the Jante Law as well:

The school, in Lund, southern Sweden, argues that if invitations are handed out on school premises then it must ensure there is no discrimination.

He says the two children were left out because one did not invite his son to his own party and he had fallen out with the other one.

The boy's father lodged a complaint with the parliamentary ombudsman. A verdict is expected in September.
