NYT: Subsidize STEM and defund liberal arts?

My opposition to CS requirements might just be me hearing CS and immediately jumping to “They want me to learn to write computer programs!”, and having a rather negative reaction. If, by CS, you mean developing strong skills with existing programs, we don’t have any disagreement, and I do have numerous CS skills.

What about a course like this one at http://cs10.org/ which is suitable for both non-majors and majors with no previous computing experience?
