In Norway's educational system, history is not a valued subject. It is included under either "Social Studies" or "Norwegian." Many Norwegians are therefore unaware how their society and democracy were formed, or of the enormous prices paid to attain them. Recent generations seem to take them for granted.

Norway's education system is also permeated with an idealistic vision of equality and a belief in cultural relativism: that everyone, every culture and every religion are of the same value. Schools and even preschools are obliged to work to wipe out class differences. The majority of teachers are idealists who believe in the idealism they are obliged to preach. Islam is presented in schoolbooks as "just another religion" -- attractive, and portrayed as if has already been reformed, a situation just not the case.

“While Norwegian politicians and mainstream media have been largely in favour of joining the union, voters said ‘no’.”

So, in effect, the socialists and their MSM allies were not yet strong enough. Just another reason for them to invite in as many foreigners as possible.

Why are you surprised?

Education of the young (they represent the future) is the prime target for world socialism to conquer.

Why do you think are we dumbing down our educational system in the US?

No not happy with Van Gaal, was happy at first but having seen the dreadful football played and then losing to Cambridge is , well I can’t say it here.

I was based in Mjolfjell, think it’s spelt right and then Voss, and then spent time in Bergan, Finse and then Tromso.
Can’t put the line through the O, sorry.

Like I said, clarification. Mostly for the benefit of those who don’t really know their way around a map. Your statement can be read as referring to a future target (which I take it you meant) or to the status quo (which it isn’t).
