Officials call for mandatory Norwegian
That's the AP headline. Must be a newly hired editor.Norway's Progress Party is pushing a platform that would require immigrants to learn the Norwegian language. Carl I. Hagen, vice-president of Norway's parliament, said immigrants who fail to learn Norweigian ... [sic. Definitely a newbie editor, no experienced editor would let such an egregious spelling slip through.] ... would be excluded from social support benefits, Aftenposten reported. Hagen said the party wants to reduce the number of children who enter the public school system without speaking Norwegian. "We will no longer accept the development of ghettos and that children are born in Norway and cannot speak Norwegian. It is a parental responsibility," Hagen said.
