Knowing how to code is great, but however well-meaning, it's too late to make it a high school requirement. It's like requiring shop class in the mid-1980s to guarantee grads a factory job after high school.
Programming jobs aren't going away entirely, but like with factory jobs, automation (like assisted programming with AI) will mean fewer jobs for the same tasks. CS education and wood/metal shop are useful knowledge, but no longer guarantee a well-paying job.
