The case has sparked a debate in Sweden about civil liberties

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- E IIMA --><!-- S SF -->
An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.
The boy's school says he has violated the children's rights and has complained to the Swedish Parliament.
The school, in Lund, southern Sweden, argues that if invitations are handed out on school premises then it must ensure there is no discrimination.
The boy's father has lodged a complaint with the parliamentary ombudsman. <!-- E SF -->
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 handed out his birthday invitations during class-time and when the teacher spotted that two children had not received one the invitations were confiscated.
"My son has taken it pretty hard," the boy's father told the newspaper Sydsvenskan. "No one has the right to confiscate someone's property in this way, it's like taking someone's post," he added. A verdict on the matter is likely to be reached in September, in time for the next school year.

This is how bad the "equality nazis" have fucked our societies.

Folks, when you govern a society based on "hurt feelings" and "compassion" (as opposed to a set of rigid standards), there's no telling how far this idiocy will carry you.

"Hate speech laws", people suing because they feel left out or entitled to 'x' are really BAD policies. One man's 'hate' is another man's religion. So one day the do-gooders woke up and decided "being offended" or feeling left out, or losing at something, was a sin.

Remember, "progressive" means yesterday's insanity becomes tomorrow' reality.

Liberals govern by irrational compassion; conservatives believe in raising the bar and governing by a set of rigid standards -- social, moral, economic standards.

Always vote conservative.

Had to do a double take here. I thought "internet forums are so popular that they mention them in mainstream news!?", then I realized that's how the Brits say "mail".

The most un-diversified freedom suffocating people in the world are the "progressive" liberals.
I love how they use the word progressive.Progress back to the future of 1938.
