A qualitative study of the implementation of Skolverkets educational documents in the pragmatic teaching of the Swedish upper secondary school. Based on material from the theoretical curriculum and education documents from Skolverket and practical feedback from teachers through semistructured interviews, this bachelor thesis wants to see how the teaching of Swedish rightwing extremist groups, racism and intolerance manifests itself in the different history courses on offer. Through a backgroundpresentation of the right-wing extremism group´s past in the decades of 1990´s, 2000´s and the 2010´s in Sweden, the practice of history is discussed as a theory in which this implementation could be applicated in teaching in the undergraduate courses History 1a1, 1a2, 1b and immersion courses 2a, 2b and History 3. Everything based on the statement of the theoretical education documents, and the label of the teaching, as inclusive and based on the values with focus on democratic values and human rights. The result that the teaching of racism and intolerance exists clearly matches the changes that were implemented in the curriculum for upper secondary school in 2011, but that the teachers does not discuss right-wing extremist groups, which also means that an interest of these may grow into the student’s mindset and that could be a problem for the democratic society. Through this, the extremist’s groups may in some cases have a method of entrenchment among pupils, and a new generation of members is persuaded by a misuse of the history practice.
