I 100% disagree. Teaching basic programming is teaching how computers actually work.

We're running into tons of computer literature issues right now. Lots of people coming out of highschool today don't know what a file tree is because everything they've used up until this point is in an app or browser.

We don't teach everyone how to be electricians or plumbers, but we do teach everyone the basics of how electricity and plumbing work.

It's important that people understand the basics of how the things they interact with every day work.
