Mother sauces are "French cuisine 101", but not "cooking 101." A very large number of "regular" American home cooks have never made a Béchamel sauce.

I'd say it definitely is cooking 101. They're the basis for a tremendous number of recipes over the last hundred years. Americans being ignorant isn't really an argument.

It's basis for a tremendous number of recipes in French cuisine, which is only one form of cooking.

If you are from Louisiana you'd think the Holy Trinity was cooking 101.

It's the basis for a tremendous number of recipes in all Western cuisine.

Yes, and you'd learn bases like soffritto/mirepoix/holy trinity as well. They are also a part of cooking 101.
