05/01/2008: "(Sweden) Ruling: school wrong to deny right-wing extremists"

No one has the right to obstruct right-wing extremists from passing out literature at schools, Sweden’s Chancellor of Justice has ruled.

The Karlberg School in Köping in central Sweden was in the wrong when it denied the National Democrats from handing out political information to students, the Chancellor wrote in an opinion criticizing the school’s actions.

The middle school was criticized for denying the anti-immigrant party from arranging a table displaying literature and handing out flyers to students at the school.

"You can’t shut out a political party for having an opinion which isn’t in agreement with the school’s basic values," Chancellor Göran Lambertz said to news agency TT.

[ They still have to be sure nothing is written that breaks the strict race laws - but still this is a heartening ruling. ]
