Norwegian policy texts assume original citizens’ superior values must be taught to immigrants

Evidence

These texts are remarkably unselfconscious in their assumption that immigrant communities are to be instructed in matters of citizenship, that is, on how to live in European culture. They are structured by a familiar hierarchy of citizenship: on the one hand, original citizens whose values must be respected (and whose values, it goes without saying, are superior) and, on the other, foreigners whose alien values have the potential to contaminate the body politic and who must be purged. — Sherene Razack, Casting Out, 303
