> I do wish functional programming were more taught

My first CS bachelor's semester in Germany in 2017 taught functional programming using Haskell (as well as C and NASM assembly in another course on computer architecture).

OOP using Java and Python was only introduced in the second semester.

> Regardless I think it's important that students get exposed to more than just Python, which seems to increasingly be the only thing students come out knowing.

In my B.Sc. studies I used C, C++, Haskel, Assembly, Java, Python, and Swift.

Also worth mentioning that since this was in Germany not only was it a great education, but there’s no crippling student debt either.

Same here. Had Scala in my first year. Clojure and Racket later. On top of that I had C, ASM, Java, Python and R (had a focus on machine learning). So I got plenty of education in that department.

There are definitely some good schools out there that expose students to a broad field. For anybody who is a student and looking, this is somethign I would strongly recommend considering.
