'March 15, 1942: Norwegian Teachers Resist Nazi Curriculum,' Zinn Education Project.
On March 15, 1942, more than 1,300 Norwegian teachers were arrested by the German Nazi-installed government run by Vidkun Quisling after 12,000 of 14,000 nationwide had refused to join the new Nazi-oriented teachers association and resisted nazification of the curriculum. Half were held in a concentration camp outside the capital of Oslo. The rest were shipped to the Arctic for forced labor alongside Russian prisoners of war.

- Norway Teachers Refused to Teach Nazi Ideology, WWII 'Paperclip Resistance.' (11:20 mins), June 3, 2024. Social resistance by the civilian population to the Nazi Occupation of Norway posed great risk in a country where the occupation leader's name - Quisling - became a synonym for Nazi collaboration. Still, resistance came from Norway's teachers who refused to abide by rules set by the Nazi government.
