    It’s an introduction class, just start with history of computers and shift to programming from there.

    You know, the history of computers, the Alan Turing, and the first assembly language, and the first software engineer, and “the entire pre-1992 internet.”

      Even just the facts are incredibly “woke” leaning unless you just boil everything down to a single sentence factoid and dont go into much detail

            Pretty sure anyone who’s ever grabbed a live wire has felt electricity. I guess you could argue you’re still only feeling what it does, but that’s like arguing you only feel what a punch in the face does…

            What kind of an ego do you have to have to think you know everything about science, so you write a textbook, and when you get to electricity, you don’t know anything about it, but since you know everything about everything, if you don’t know anything about electricity, that means nobody else does, either?

                If that’s real I assume it’s less that they don’t believe in electricity or even that they don’t understand it. Probably more “portray difficult concepts as magical so that the idea of blind faith isn’t so difficult to digest” kind of intellectual dishonesty

                That’s if it’s real though and not a nonsense meme to generate outrage. Highly sus that a book title isn’t mentioned

                  The book title is mentioned in the meme. It’s Science 4 for Christian Schools. I got it from Anna and that page is in there.
