Has anybody found any credible institutional source on this?

I don't know much about the US, but in Europe the majority of colleges is now teaching either java or C++ as the first language, and only a minority is teaching scripting languages as PHP. I guess it's easier for students to understand higher-level languages and to transport their knowledge to other languages (or, at least, it was easy for me).
