I grew up watching “this is your brain on drugs” commercials*, so yes I know what you’re referencing there.
“Girls who code” and similar programs don’t strike me as the 2020s version of the war on drugs, though.
Were you not exposed to hamfisted intervention programs growing up?
They say that you never notice the propaganda that works, and I think there are lots of programs that are just outright good that even a cynic can't cut down, but I remember lots of insulting messaging baked into "lets fix X" initiatives too.
