Submission + - SPAM: Code.org Celebrates 5th Anniversary, Success in Changing K-12 Education Policy

Submitted by theodp on Tuesday February 27, 2018 @12:09AM

theodp writes: "It’s exactly five years since Code.org launched with the video What Most Schools Don’t Teach ," noted Code.org in a Monday blog post entitled Dedicating Our 5 year Anniversary to our Partners. "Since then, tens of millions of students have begun learning computer science, hundreds of thousands of schools have begun teaching CS, tens of thousands of teachers have attended workshops to introduce CS in their classrooms, hundreds of school districts have added CS to their curriculum, and forty U.S. states and 25 countries have announced policies and plans to support CS in schools [...] We should start by thanking our amazing donors, particularly Amazon [$10+ million], Facebook [$10+ million], Google [$3+ million], Infosys [$10+ million], and Microsoft [$10+ million]. Whether it’s corporate funders, foundations, or individual donors, without your generous funding, we wouldn’t exist [...] Changing education policies in forty states wouldn’t be possible without the help of Microsoft, College Board, Amazon, and every partner in the Code.org Advocacy Coalition [...] We’re particularly fortunate and proud to have had the vocal support of Bill Gates [$4+ million] and Mark Zuckerberg [$1+ million] since day one." Hey, it takes a corporate village to raise a CS-savvy child!

I hate to be the one to say this but I think AOL has this right. As an owner of a network, internal or etc. I have the right to block any content I wish, even if my motive are questionable, if aol was to loose this case, which I don't see how they could, it would set a dangerous precident for any network owner, administrator, or provider.
