Since the veil ban was introduced at Skurup's schools in December, the issue has become contentious and opinions among the Skurup residents are shared.
Alex Flygare from Skurup regards the ban ban as offensive. And he thinks the protests among the students against the ban are good.
- It is good that the students put their foot down. This is a decision that affects children at the individual level. Everyone should have the right to practice their religion, says Alex Flygare, from Skurup.
Robert Douhan from Skurup thinks it is good to have a school ban. He says that the children are not always allowed to choose whether or not to wear a veil.
- Religion should not be mixed up and certainly not when it comes to children. And we live in a Swedish society - why should you hide? he says.
