One can teach critical thinking without any reference to computers or programming. Teach that and computers will follow like wet follows rain. Teach it using 'computers' and the kids will have no idea what they are doing.
Have you forgotten we were forced out of Iraq because their 'government' would not sign an agreement that gave American troops immunity from prosecution. and our War department would not stay without that agreement?
Sometimes I think we are like the fire-suppressed forests. We have been putting out fires for a hundred years, letting the understory build up until finally a fire feeds on this accumulated fuel and rages unstoppable. As disease suppression allows the human understory to build relentlessly, one day a disease will come along that rages through the population.
Computer 'science'? B.S. How about K-12 classes in critical thinking? People that can think will pick up CS in a heart beat. Kids that are taught 'computer science' will be unlikely to actually think, and will have wasted their time as soon as the technology they were taught is obsolete.

What train, the train of surveillance? That train needs to be derailed.
But that's communistic!
The 15 minutes are up and they were successful, didn't you even read the summary?
Who'da thunk? Apparently damn few.
is 'American Politician'.
Look, the man '[has] a strong sense ...', surely that counts for something!
and a liar and a murderer. What a travesty that the Nobel committee doesn't demand the peace prize back from this war monger.
You, sir or madam, are a complete fool and an ass.
How about if I just gag?

Drone pilots are murderers pure and simple. Are their teachers accessories to murder?
