My university education experience seems to contradict this notion. Many classes were heavily focused on Java to allow students to learn data structures and object-oriented programming, in general. Other classes, like Operating Systems Programming were focused on C. In the end, you learn that there is the right tool for the right job.

I think you misunderstood my post (or perhaps I wasn't able to articulate the point clearly).

My University computer science was also broken up as you describe. The introductory class was in Pascal, the next course was Java, and then each course used its own language.

That's not what I'm talking about at all.
