The Social Democrats are also reacting and demanding that the government tighten the regulations regarding sanctions, closures and oversight.
"It is obvious that the current regulations are toothless against the culture of violence, abuse and racism that is repeatedly revealed at Lundsberg," says the party's education policy spokesperson Anders Ygeman in a comment to TT.
The Social Democrats want the government to assign the Swedish School Inspectorate to investigate the abuses at Lundsberg and similar boarding schools.
The revelations come after the third and final part of SVT's attention-grabbing documentary "The Heirs" was released on Wednesday. In the episode, students, former staff and parents testify about bullying, racism and violence at the boarding school in Värmland.
But the program has also attracted criticism. Among other things, critics say that a family with a son who attended the school has been allowed to give their unchallenged account of the situation at the boarding school. The son has also been convicted of an assault that took place at the school.
Lundsberg has reported SVT to the Review Board, saying it believes the program violates the requirement for impartiality and objectivity.
The Swedish School Inspectorate has previously carried out inspections several times following reports of humiliating hazing and abuse at Lundsberg. In 2013, the school also temporarily closed after two students were burned with an iron during a hazing ritual.
