Malmø: Swedish preschool classes to get education in Arabic only?

[1] Malmø update. From the Swedish [2] 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.
