Editing Progress Party (Norway) (section)

=== Society ===
The party regards the family to be a natural, necessary and fundamental element in a free society. It regards the family to be a carrier of traditions and culture, and to have a role in raising and caring for children. The party also wants all children to have a right of visitation and care from both parents, and to secure everyone's right to know who their biological parents are.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.frp.no/no/Vi_mener/|title=Vi mener: Familiepolitikk|access-date=20 November 2010|language=no|publisher=FrP.no|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101203075801/http://www.frp.no/no/Vi_mener/|archive-date=3 December 2010}}</ref> The party opposed the [[Same-sex marriage in Norway|legalization of same-sex marriage]] in 2008,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.religioustolerance.org/hommarno.htm |title=Same-sex marriage and civil unions in Norway |website=Religioustolerance.org |date=30 April 1993 |access-date=17 February 2016}}</ref><ref>[http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/guide/country_by_country/norway/norway_adopts_gender_neutral_marriage_law Norway adopts gender neutral marriage law] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121101181112/http://ilga-europe.org/home/guide/country_by_country/norway/norway_adopts_gender_neutral_marriage_law |date=1 November 2012 }} ilga-europe.org</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jko_BIHizUFFqUtmEaUrAEoPXFWw |title=Norway adopts gay marriage law |access-date=23 July 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110520153827/http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jko_BIHizUFFqUtmEaUrAEoPXFWw |archive-date=20 May 2011 }}</ref> questioning how children would "cope" with the law.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2479146.ece |title=Same sex marriage law passed by wide majority |access-date=26 March 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080617115242/http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2479146.ece |archive-date=17 June 2008 }}</ref> In schools, the party wants to improve the working environment for teachers and students by focusing more on order, discipline and class management.

The party believes that artists should be less dependent on public support, and instead be more dependent on making a living on what they create. The party believes that regular people should rather decide what good culture is, and demands that artists on public support should offer something the audience wants. It also wants to abolish the annual licence fee for the [[Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation]] and privatise the company. Otherwise, the party wants to protect and secure Norwegian cultural heritage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.frp.no/no/Vi_mener/|title=Vi mener: Kulturpolitikk|access-date=20 November 2010|language=no|publisher=FrP.no|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101203075801/http://www.frp.no/no/Vi_mener/|archive-date=3 December 2010}}</ref>

The party is also a proponent of a ban on wearing the [[Burqa|burka]] and [[niqab]] in public spaces, schools and universities, first proposing the idea in 2010.
