WTF Danmark.

Janta lov for alle?

"One measure... would impose a four-year prison sentence on immigrant parents who force their children to make extended visits to their country of origin — described here as “re-education trips” —in that way damaging their “schooling, language and well-being.” Another would allow local authorities to increase their monitoring and surveillance of “ghetto” families."

Jante Law I don't know how to explain into English so here.

I'm basically implying that dumbass redneck thickheadedness and xenophobia, tall poppy syndrome, etc. is being made a matter of law in formerly cool, socialist-liberal Denmark.

Henry Edward Hardy @hhardy01

A good indictment of Jante Law before it was called as such is Henrik Ibsen's play, "An Enemy of the People:"

"The majority never has right on its side. Never I say! ...The majority has might on its side-unfortunately; but right it has not. I am in the right—I and a few other scattered individuals. The minority is always in the right."

--Henrik Ibsen
An Enemy of the People
1882
