The Swedish municipality of Hässleholm has purchased several ‘burkinis’ for young Muslim girls, saying that it allows them to participate in school swimming lessons.
The municipality justified the purchase of the controversial Islamic swimwear by saying it wanted to include as many children as possible in the school’s swimming lessons programme. Municipal Deputy Managing Director Rolf Bengtsson likened the purchase to providing a computer or ice skates for children who couldn’t afford them, Swedish newspaper Norra Skane reports.
“We had problems with water quality, so we asked the school that if students are to be able to swim in our baths, they must wear swimsuit, shorts or burkinis,” said the local swimming pool manager Henrik Samevik.

So what? I honestly couldn't give less of a fuck.

That's really cool, if we can teach whatever constructive to somone and that's nothing all our clothes are from china or pakistan. So we can give them this little thing.
Is there actually an islamic rule against showing your face?
Rather die than take lessons alrite

Actually, it shows the cost of inviting foreigners which cannot assimilate to your values. Its absolutely shit that Swedes have to buy burkinis to operate, particularly when it reinforces the barbaric muslim notion that a woman must cover herself to recieve respect.
These sorts of values should be shunned and even combatted should we want to keep an open and free society. It sounds contradictory, but one shouldnt feed a cancer in the body, it should eradicate it.

Can guys wear them too at least? Would have loved that back in school to cover that giant, ugly scar.

Are you actually, literally autistic?

What the fuck are you talking about?

>actually it shows the cost of inviting foreigners which cannot assimilate to your values
Is some ridiculously abstracted video-game jargon you pulled right out of your ass and fit to some grand conservative narrative of societal decay. And what, because a school bought some bikinis for kids?
Schools pay for whole fucking orchestras. The entire country is already multilingual, and already fronts the costs to include that in their education system.
Fuck dude you're so smart. If only politicians just GOT it like you do, you know?
>>174352
Not him, but how is that "videogame jargon"? Assimilation is a term used by politicians all the time when referring to immigrant communities. And not everything you disagree with is conservative, or has anything to do with an "ethnostate"

>i have no argument and i must strawman
>>174352
Is this bait?
I literally cannot tell the difference between liberalism and trolling anymore
>>174357
Likening it to a video game was meant to point out how incredibly abstracted
>Actually, it shows the cost of inviting foreigners which cannot assimilate to your values.
is as a notion that tries to describe the affairs of a country of millions. Those games are made to simulate running a nationstate. But because you don't own a computer, they boil complex nation-scale decisions down to scripted choice prompts.
Assimilation is also one of those really tip-of-the-iceberg notions. What is assimilation? Is a model minority, only speaking national tongue when prompted and heavily steeped in intra-ethnic cooperation assimilated? Is an ethnicity that embraces the mother culture, but is still statistically problematic assimilated? They talk about assimilation as if it were a concrete destination to either soothe or stoke their constituents' fears.
And the idea of the pathogenic other is a very conservative notion. The pathogenic other heralds decay. The pathogenic other threatens the status quo.
And the ethnostate is a bit more convoluted in reasoning. But essentially it's that a school is going to be expected to provide reasonable accommodations for its students. If the school can't accomodate its students, overwhelmingly migrant, over native ones in offering certain programs, it does begin to resemble racial preference. Hence, a school in sweden paid some small margin of its budget to make sure one of it's programs was accessible to students. Asking the kids to just get over it is putting the child in an extremely politicized position. And it's going to make other parents, even native ones, question your ability to accomodate their children. The overreaction to this idea resembles the same, grandiose ethnic nationalism you see every day here.

TL;DR every political decision ever made is void because it's too "abstract" for this retard and assimilation doesn't exist because he says so

>If a school can't accommodate its Muslim students, who are overwhelmingly migrant, in offering certain programs, this begins to resemble racial preference.*
Sweden is in the thick of a nation-wide experiment in liberalism. How many people can they bring in? Who? When? At what rate? How long will it take for that to work? Is it worthwhile? What is a country's responsibility to the citizens of others?
The provisions for this to happen have been present in international agreements between European countries since WW2. But rarely have we ever seen what happens. But no. I'm the one who's making a straw man. Even though you have a wealth of anonymous role players who hedge their xenophobia on the straw men pathogenic others.

The reply chain is 3 posts long but yeah, go ahead and forget that I was actually talking to somebody.

Isn't a political decision. It's an anonymous charlatan who's got all your answers lined up for you.
How long until girls who aren't Muslims are forced to wear these?
>meanwhile less than half of Americans know how to swim
Loving every laff
>>174374
Two of those replies were me and he's right, just because you say assimilation is some lofty impossible racist thing that doesn't make it the case
Most people do fine with the dictionary definition of a term without having to be pseudo-intellectual and trying to psychoanalyse everyone that uses it instead of actually making an argument
"You think minorities can fit in and become assimilated, what are you, a white supremacist ethno-nationalist?"
"You disagree with some of the religious ideas that are part of Islam? Fucking racist, I bet you don't even get why Islam is totally a race and not a set of religious and political beliefs"
Islam is a good example of something that is actually socially conservative, by the way, rather than wanting little girls not to have to dress in bin bags to avoid offending the man in the sky or the local imams.
>>174387
That will never happen, there would be a revolution against the government.
>>174292
Yes but it doesnt apply to kids.
This is just muslims being bigots.
>>174292
I'm fairly sure the Quran mentions that when girls have their first periods they're considered women, and therefore have to wear the hijab. This is just the swedish government being fag enablers.
>>174406
Minorities can't swim well, lay off bigot
Damn, was about to say "Because wrapping kids in cotton and wool and pushing them into a pool is a great way to teach swimming", but they have gotten smart.
Looking at them, though, they are pretty much just "trendy" wetsuits, not those big, billowing tents you'd usually think of.
