Officials at a school in Sweden have confiscated birthday invitations handed out in class by an eight-year-old boy.

The reason: they see it as a matter of discrimination.

A Swedish newspaper says the school in Lund, southern Sweden, seized the invitations because the boy failed to invited two boys because they were not his friends.

The newspaper Sydsvenskan quotes officials as saying they had a duty to prevent discrimination.

The newspaper did not identify the boy or his family, but says his father has filed a complaint with the parliamentary ombudsman.

The father told the newspaper that the two classmates were not invited because one had bullied his son and the other had not invited him to his birthday party.

"My son has taken it very hard," the father told Sydsvenskan of the school's decision. "It's like taking someone's mail."

The parliamentary ombudsman has asked the school board to decide on the issue before Sept. 8.

It is the boy's birthday, so he should be able to exclude people he don't like.

What, did he exclude only those two? If so, it was probably a petty little revenge scheme for something. If not, what makes them different from the others not invited? It's just ridiculous, lol.

The father told the newspaper that the two classmates were not invited because one had bullied his son and the other had not invited him to his birthday party.

The Father reasoning is pretty good for not inviting the two buys since who wants to invite a bully to a party the bully probably be a jerk and bully other kids at the party, and if the other boy did not invite his son to his birthday party, they are probably not good friends.

Oh, I missed that part. Yeah, that's totally reasonable.

XD

Thats so dumb! Two boys don't get invited to the birthday party?! I'm sure its going to effect them for the rest of their lives.

I mean, I would be upset if I were a parent and my kids cards got taken away, not only that but one of the kids was bullying their child! However, if I were the parents of the boys that didn't get invited, I'd be more embarrassed that the situation got to the public over such little a matter, now the boys are going to think something is wrong.. when really, its just a fact of life. Not everyone is gonna like yah, you have to live with it.
