Now we've gone too far. Giving out participation trophy's or schools without grades.
So how silly do you think this is. If you want to pass out invitations at school you must invite everyone.
You can't discriminate against bullies and people that don't like you.
I think we've gone a bit too far.
What next. If you want to give out valentines at school you're also going to have to give one to the gay guy so you're not discriminating against anyone.
Sometimes being excluded is part of life. Where better to learn something than school. Now granted kids can sometime be overly cruel in this area but nothing makes a lesson stick like a little cruelty.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- 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.
