Florida Senate endorses making computer coding a foreign language
http://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/news-services/article62301292.html
State senators in Florida overwhelmingly approved a proposal
Wednesday to allow high school students to count computer coding
as a foreign language course, although questions linger about
whether the two subjects should be considered one and the same.
The state Senate passed the bill by Democratic Sen. Jeremy Ring
on a 35-5 vote.

What morons. Promoting computer skills is great -- equating them to
foreign language skills is the kind of crap that only idiot politicians
could come up with.
