We knew who are friends were and who they weren't, so it really wasn't a shock when some kid I never talked to didn't invite me to his birthday party. I certainly didn't feel left out, and I certainly wouldn't want to go. Either way, I guess school policy, as absurd as it seems to me, is school policy and the father should have mailed or phoned the parents. To be honest though school is a convenient way of handing out invites since everyone is there in one location. We would invite or not invite people to birthdays at my elementary school all the time.

We can do what ever it is we wish, and if we do not wish to invite two people to our parties, so be it, it is our decision. Where the heck is common sense going?

You can't please all the people all the time and trying to force it on everyone is wrong. If someones feelings are hurt, too bad. The world is a rough place and does not care if you are happy all the time. I am offended by politicians who do nothing productive in office but line their pockets and their cronies pockets with my tax dollars, but want me to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" because some Muslim, Jew, or atheist would be offended. If you are offended by my opinions that's too damn bad. I don't care. You can have your own opinions, just allow me to have mine. Isn't that what freedom is supposed to be about? PC is ridiculous.

I can't believe the school has such a ludicrous policy. And Sweden always seems to treat people fairly well, too. Well, I'm sure the ruling will be in favor of the eight year old's father.

Every school I have ever come across has this rule (and I have been schooled in Euro and here in the US) and its 100% fair that EVERY child be on the invite list if the invites are going home during school time. Everyone knows that if the whole class (or all the boys only or all the girls only) are not being invited that the invites should be passed out in the parking lot or by mail. It should NOT be done in class where the none invited students are to be made aware...bully, not nice kid or whatever! This is pretty much a universal rule among parents and a official rule at most if not all schools.

The teacher confiscating the invites, or the father filing a complaint with parliament? Can't see that either has anything to do with political correctness. The teacher confiscating the invites is overly draconian in enforcing school rules, but that's not politically correct. The father complaining to parliament is over-reacting, but again, don't see how that's politically correct either. So what’s the poltically correct bit that’s gone too far?
