This document summarizes a series of events related to violence in Oslo schools and the debate around school choice policies. It describes instances of violence against teachers by students and increasing threats. It also discusses the political debate around increasing segregation caused by school choice policies. Critics argue this exacerbates social differences while supporters claim choice equalizes opportunities. The document follows one teacher, Simon Malkenes, who speaks out about the problems but faces retaliation, eventually winning awards for his whistleblowing efforts. It traces the political power struggle between elected officials and bureaucrats over control of the school system.
