When I was a child, last century, our middle-school "computers" class started off with bitwise operations. Have booleans dropped out of the rudimentary curriculum since then?

Yes. I had to learn bitwise operations independently when debugging some code written in a vendor-specific scripting language derived from C++

Not entirely. My CS undergrad featured a discrete math course that was almost exclusively boolean logic and proofs. The prerequisites of the course plan put it very early in a given CS students' schooling. I took it alongside our second CS intro course, where we taught C++ (with Python being in the first intro course).
