Of course, the recently out-of-work journalists to whom this advice was offered were all morally outraged and their still working colleagues rushed to their defense with the insightful claim "learn to code" is now actually a racist statement, unlike when it was used to tell the out of work coal miners during the Obama administration. Back then it was just friendly, although it sounded a lot like snide, advice. But that was in another time, and with other people who clearly had the miners best economic interest at heart.
Imagine my shock when in today's e-mail I received a solicitation from Microsoft to support an organization who promised to use my donation to help girls "learn to code."
Thankfully, I have been paying attention to the still employed social justice warriors in the media and I know this is clearly an anti-feminist and racist attempt to subvert the fight for social justice and would only serve to divert people from the grievance study programs so important in today's world.
Asking a girl to learn to code -- what an outrageous demand. We are better than that.
