Schools SHOULD teach code

This is exactly my reaction. I don't understand the negative comments to these initiatives. Is it just fear of becoming superfluous? If everyone can code, what use am I?

The truth is not everyone will become coders, but basic understanding of code will change the world. Today very few programs have scripting consoles, but many of them have the facilities to create one. If basic code literacy was wide spread, I think this would change.
