Malmø update. From the Swedish Sydsvenskan, with thanks to Ali Dashti, who summarizes the article thusly:
The ruling Swedish Socialist party is planning a proposal in which the city of Malmø will start preschool classes where all the education given is in Arabic. The idea is that once immigrant children learn the language of their parents, it will become easier for them to learn Swedish later. The idea has already met strong criticism from the Conservative party Moderaterna, who claim that such a move would increase segregation, not diminish it. Indeed it would, as we have learned with bilingual education in the US.

The Malmo I remember as a child is gone. Al-Malmo is born.
Swedish ping!
Repeat after me: "Immigration is good. There is nothing good but immigrants. Multiculturalism is the future."
Also, have the students study KURAAN. Once they learn and understand the religion of their parents, it is easy for them to understand and value other non-muslim religions.
They can come to California where bilingual education was tried and failed. We tossed it years ago with Proposition 227.
It's not immigration that is the problem, but rather groups of immigrants that do not assimilate into the society they move into. Not a healthy thing, and will only eventually lead to factionalism.
Ummm - ah, did your kids have to go to preschool to learn your language?
These socialist morons throw out the most inane "rationale" as if it were gospel and know that a large part of the 'masses' will swallow it.
"Common Sense" is an endangered species.
Don't forget to teach them the fundamentals of Bedouin blood feuds and Wahhabi/Salafist religious doctrine.
Do frikken whaaaaaaaaaat?
Excuse me while I take an anti-psychotic pill.
"I am crazy the world is sane"...
"I am crazy the world is sane"...
"I am crazy the world is sane"...
On the other hand, why bother with Swedish, once all the children have learned Arabic?
The annual South American parade there is charming. What the larger Muslim population is doing is terrifying.
I meant 50,000 refugees.
This is the direct reverse of Woody Allen's movie 'Bananas' where the commie dictator decrees that the populace in the Latin country will speak only Swedish because he is a fan of Ingmar Bergman films.
Now, in Sweden, the commies decree that Swedish children will be taught only Arabic because they are fans of Islamofascism.
You cannot make absurdity up anymore.
Nothing separates people like language.
The Swedes would would find that old saying to be true if they looked at the duel-language studies in other countries.
Which will undoubtedly be re-elected over and over again no matter how badly they **** their country.
"The ruling Swedish Socialist party is planning a proposal in which the city of Malmø will start preschool classes where all the education given is in Arabic. The idea is that once immigrant children learn the language of their parents, it will become easier for them to learn Swedish later."
Everyone knows that if you don't begin to learn a language when you are young, it is much harder to learn later. This is an attempt to make them non-Swedish speaking for life.
Biology is a social construct according to the socialist dimwhits.
This is just wrong. Many linguists who work on child language acquisition will tell you that children have more capacity to learn language than adults do. They can learn 2-3 languages at the same time. So, there's no need to learn Arabic first, then Swedish.
