2 Boy's not invited to party had rights violated says school

Thanks to Peter for sending this unbelievable story my way.
A school in Sweden says an 8 year old boy who invited his entire class to his birthday party except for 2 particular boys has violated their rights. Just repeating that part: the 2 boys who were not invited to the birthday party have apparently had their rights violated.
A school representative says that if invitations were handed out on school premises then there must be no discrimination - tough luck if you aren't friends with or don't like some of those people.
The teacher upset the students by confiscating all the invitations when it was apparent that 2 of the boys did not receive one.
What's the world coming too when an 8 year old can't invite whomever he wants to his own birthday party without school interference?
It's frickin craziness if you ask me.
WOW!
That is one of the dumber things I have heard this week. I am sure it will be topped.
I can't imagine that happening in my stepdaughters class.
Though at some level I can understand wanting to save the 2 kids from the humiliation factor. However I would not call it a violation of rights. No one has the right to be invited anywhere.

If I was his parents I'd fight back and say the school is violating my rights to choose who comes into my house.
