This essay examines the arguments behind the ban of the headscarf in schools in Skurups county that the Swedish Democrats/Sverigedemokraterna (a party in the Swedish Parliament) submitted. The motion was voted through in Skurups county with help of Moderaterna and the local Skurupspartiet. The ban of the headscarf was towards both children and adults in schools. The methodological approach in this essay is developed by Carol Lee Bacchi and is called “What’s the problem represented to be?”. The starting point of the WPRmethod is the representation of a problem and aims to distinguish how problems are described and the underlying factors and consequences that are included. The material that is being examined is the motion behind the ban of the headscarf and two articles who argue about the ban of the veil. The focus in this essay is to analyze the arguments. The theoretical approach is about how gender and nations are constructed from Yuval-Davis book Gender and Nation and Eduards book Kroppspolitik.
