A Christian preschool in Sweden has banned children from saying grace at mealtimes, talking about the Bible, or saying “Amen”.
The decision to forbid children at the school in Umea to engage in religious practices was reached after a school inspection. The municipality’s supervisors in charge of education noted that the Christian activities violate Sweden’s educational policies, Swedish National Broadcaster STV reported.
Sweden’s Education Act prohibits schools from having confessional elements during school time and says children should be able to opt-out of religious practices.
Inspectors believed the preschool, run by the Salvation Army, didn’t give children a choice as to whether they wanted to participate in elements of the day such as saying grace before a meal.

Say grace anyway.
Maybe they can say “Ahem” as a substitute for “Amen”. They’d know the code word, but the authorities couldn’t do a thing...except ban the dictionary one word at a time.
If Swedish authorities went into a Madrassa and told the headmaster that the students couldn't say "Allahu akbar" they'd be met with a punch in the face.
Christians just meekly acquiesce.
Where are the Vikings?
I guessed they moved to Minnesota

I watched over 30 years while my own sibling was cuckified by the Minneapolis-St. Paul ambience. Once a high-testosterone male, he has been neutered by living under PC.
Needless to add, we are estranged.
I’m sorry Sweden, but you’re a Zombie Nation. You are dead but you don’t know it....
Yep.
Dear Leader Øbama signed an Executive Order in May of 2016 essentially doing the same thing in the USA.
The Salvation Army cannot put its “War Cry” magazines in Christmas food boxes.
President Trump has yet to rescind that order.
It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. —Luke 17:2
That's because it is run entirely by feminists.
I suspect you are right.
It's a Christian school, so folding one's hands, moving one's lips and saying "Ahem" could be considered "hate-thought".
Doesn't "AH-men" follow Muslim prayer?
