This study investigates whether two Swedish digital educational materials for the subject Swedish in secondary school can be associated with any form of discrimination or not. The study has examined the parts of the educational material that contains fiction. To achieve this goal the study has followed three research questions. The first question investigates how the educational material represents the intersectional terms gender, ethnicity, sexuality and social class. The second question investigates whether any discrimination related to the terms can be found or not. The third question investigates if and how a connection to the Swedish curriculum and its value-system can be perceived in the educational material. The results show that different forms of discrimination can be found in the analysed material. The presence of discrimination in the educational material weakens the connection to the Swedish curriculum’s value system. The study’s conclusion is that there should be a sterner outlook upon the educational material teachers use in the classroom to avoid the possibility of teaching with discriminatory material.
