As long as they don't require them for graduation I don't see a problem with it. Not everyone should or can "learn to code". The push by the big tech companies is a long term investment to depress wages for high paying jobs. I has nothing to do with trying to make our people more capable or employable.

From the post:

>The state of Michigan will now require each public high school in the state to offer at least one computer science course to its students. "This bill aligns Michigan with a majority of the country," according to the state's announcement, which says the bill "advances technological literacy" and ensures their students "are well-equipped with the critical thinking skills necessary for success in the workforce."

Great idea! I wished my school had software classes back in my day. By the late 1980s I believe my old school first offered a Basic programming class. As far as I know they still do, plus MS Office training for the College Prep students.
