Urination will go to committee

A local decision that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating has provoked political debate. The head of The Democrats Party, a splinter group of former Progress Party hardliners, Vidar Kleppe, is outraged that boys at Dvergsnes School in Kristiansand have to sit and pee.
Kleppe accuses the school of fiddling with God's work, and wants the matter discussed at the executive committee level of the local council, newspaper Dagbladet reports.
"When boys are not allowed to pee in the natural way, the way boys have done for generations, it is meddling with God's work," Kleppe told the newspaper.
"It is a human right not to have to sit down like a girl," Kleppe said.
Principal Anne Lise Gjul at Dvergsnes School would not comment on Kleppe's plans to make political waves and regretted if anyone was offended by the ban on standing and passing water.
Gjul told NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) that the young boys are simply not good enough at aiming, and the point was to have a pleasant toilet that could be used by both boys and girls.

I use Mel Gibson's advice from The Patriot, "Aim small, miss small". If you can fill a beer bottle back up you can hit a toilet no problem.

Is this real?

Appears to be. I spotted the link to it on National Review's The Corner earlier this morning.

A local decision that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating has provoked political debate. The scariest aspect of that - how is it to be enforced? :-P
