A comment on Why MIT uses Python instead of Scheme for its undergraduate CS program (2009). Parent comment
Want to learn how a computer works? Learn C.
Want to study abstract comp-sci concepts? Learn Scheme.
Want to wire together libraries to get something running in the messy real world? Learn Python (or something similiar).
A well-rounded CS education really ought to include all of these to at least some degree.
