Social Democrats want Säpo to be able to close preschools

The Social Democrats are calling on Säpo and the Swedish Schools Inspectorate to investigate and, if necessary, close preschools with links to extremism.

According to Sweden's integration policy spokesperson, Lawen Redar, there is currently a lack of knowledge about how widespread the problem of religious preschools with extremist connections is.

We don't know how many children are in these environments, she says.

S therefore wants the government to give the Swedish School Inspectorate a mandate to investigate religious influence in preschools. In addition, the party wants Säpo and the School Inspectorate to form a task force against religious influence and extremism, which, if necessary, should be able to close preschools.

The party also wants to introduce a register of religious preschools.
