Which inevitably involves the government picking winners.
I personally disagree with the implicit assumption that Scratch is something we should fund this way. I think Python would be a far better option for teaching kids basic programming skills. I learned basic when I was a kid, so it’s not like it’s unreasonable to expect kids learn a text-based language, and I think teaching anything about “CS” with a graphical language is completely ass-backwards, and is as likely to drive people away from it as get them into it.
