Sweden: Security police to monitor children
2005-09-17
Swedish security police unit SÀpo plans to keep tabs on Muslim schoolchildren who express admiration for suicide bombers and other terrorists. Teachers are expected to assist in monitoring the attitudes of young pupils, and the plan has sparked strong reactions, newspaper Aftonbladet reports. Talks are already planned between school authorities and SÀpo, and many educators do not feel that watching and reporting on students is part of their job.

Sweden's Liberal Party is behind the proposal. "We see for us a form of information exchange: SÀpo should inform teachers about these (dangerous) groups but the schools should also give important information to SÀpo about how young people think," said Liberal Party MP Lotta Edholm. "If one is going to observe students on a very vague basis and do what SÀpo has asked it could have long-term and destructive consequences for the individual student," Eva-Lis Preisz of the National Union of Teachers in Sweden told Aftonbladet.

#5  My wife (from Sweden) says it wont go thru. The Liberal party is not as liberal as the Social Democrat party and is politically weak at this point. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as conservatism in Sweden. But there is a brand new mosque in front of her girl-hood home.

#4  I can think of lots of dead men spinning in their graves. This is where socialist welfare states go. Watch this go wrong and for opression to creep in, even soft opression is evil.

This is evil.
