Abstract

The right to be exempted in Norwegian basic education means that pupils can avoid participating in educational school activities that are perceived as practicing or adhering to another religion or another worldview, or which on the basis of their own religion or worldview are perceived as problematic. The right to exemption constitutes a paradox in several ways, and there is very little information on how it is practiced at school. In this article, I discuss exemption right complaints and inquiries to the office of county governor using theory of the school as a community of disagreement. I show how some areas are problematic for selected groups in the school based on their own beliefs or views on life, or which for them are experienced as participation in other beliefs and views on life.
