Posted by BeauHD on from the core-curriculum dept.

theodp writes: Speaking about women in STEM at a Women's History Month event at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, new [unpaid] federal employee Ivanka Trump revealed she'll be taking a computer coding class with her 5-year-old daughter. "On a very personal level, as a mom I'm trying to do my part as well," Ivanka told the crowd. "My daughter Arabella and I are enrolling in a coding class this summer." Parroting supermodel Karlie Kloss (the girlfriend of Ivanka's brother-in-law), the first daughter added, "We're excited to learn this incredibly important new language together. Coding truly is the language of the future."

      It wouldn't have worked anyway. You can't be thrown over (nor under) the bridge because C# has bound checking.

    She's going to learn how to wipe her illegal email server - that's not sitting on the internet nor holding any classified material.
