Is there any reason not to teach children religious thinking? I would say there is no such reason. We should teach children many ways of thinking so that they can be versatile thinkers. I do not see how an argument beyond that point is needed.
Or, substitute for "religious" anything you dislike - "superstitious", "homeopathic", "racist", "left-wing", "right-wing". Or more fairly, as the article suggests, compare teaching "computational thinking" to teaching Latin. Clearly there is at least some reason you think "computational thinking" is worthwhile. What is it?
We cannot, after all, teach children everything. There is simply too much it is possible to learn.
