I’m old enough to remember professors who said learning CS wasn’t a part of a foundational education any more than learning to use a lathe was a part of interior design. I don’t think this is common today, thankfully. But, what aspects of computer science should be integrated into existing subjects (a word processor in English to write a paper) and the degree to which it is an independent subject remain nebulous.

Thing is, understanding computers changes the way you think about everything.

@rbreich It's GOP hypocrisy, writ stupid.

They can't walk and chew bubblegum, at the same time.
