Teachers Getting the Right to Confiscate Mobile Phones
Jan 22nd 2007CarlPolitical & Sweden
As I looked at the news I found the following news. A proposition (link in Swedish) backed by the School Minister of Sweden would allow teachers to confiscate mobile phones and mp3-players from disturbing students in Sweden. If accepted the new law would enter into force in fall 2007.
Honestly I have to say the proposition is a very bad idea. We should have more respect for the property of others. It’s true that according to the proposition the confiscated items would be given back at the end of the day, but still it’s a violation of property.
If the confiscated items were a security threat to others I would understand it better, but it’s not the case.
