This is stupid. Not everyone needs to "learn to code". All this really is, is a attempt to suppress wages in the tech sector by creating a huge population of people that "can code".

How about we make personal finance, basic electrical, basic plumbing, basic HVAC, basic farming/gardening all graduation requirements? That would at least be useful when you need to do your taxes or if you want to save money doing basic repairs yourself.

>"Great news, Louisiana!" tech-backed Code.org exclaimed Wednesday in celebratory LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter posts. Louisiana is "officially the 10th state to make computer science a [high school] graduation requirement. Huge thanks to Governor Jeff Landry for signing the bill and to our legislative champions, Rep. Jason Hughes and Sen. Thomas Pressly, for making it happen! This means every Louisiana student gets a chance to learn coding and other tech skills that are super important these days. These skills can help them solve problems, think critically, and open doors to awesome careers!"

That's ok. They get free diploma's because grades are Racist. Its just the White and Asian kids that actually have to prove their knowledge/worth.
