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.

unlucky!
serious bussines.
"at least 25% of your invitations must be black"
I don't see what the big deal is either. A teacher stops something that really shouldn't be allowed during class, and xfire kids think Swedish ppl are ashamed of their country for this?
Grow up.
Lol, you make it sound like a big deal that a dad files a complaint with the Parliamentary Ombudsman (not the parliament itself).
Doesn't people in the UK ever complain about the authorities?
Edit:
The headline to this journal is incorrect. It was the father that reported the school to the authorities, not the school that reported the kid.
From the article: "The boy's father has lodged a complaint with the parliamentary ombudsman."
So you think the father reported his own kid? Reading comprehension is a nice skill.
lol
