Coming soon to a school near you?

Political Correctness gone mad.
This time (for a change) it's not in the UK - yet!

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.

How long before this reaches the UK and, as teachers, we are deemed responsible and therefore open to prosecution?
