Together with two other teachers, he established the Humanistskolen in Oslo ("Humanist School in Oslo"). The school was initially refused approval from the Ministry of Education, but after the Ministry of Gender Equality and Discrimination Ombud (LDO) came to the conclusion that the Ministry had refused in contravention of the law, the school nevertheless received approval.
