I absolutely agree. If we in the industry are expected to constantly remain up to date on new technologies, it seems reasonable to expect our CS educators to do the same. Realistically these tools change infrequently enough that courses which teach these tools will likely remain relevant for at least the first few years after students enter industry. I've had many courses in which my peers didn't understand git even as seniors because it's not properly taught at my school. If you enter industry without basic git knowledge you're going to have a bad time and the one of the main points of education is to prepare you to enter the workforce.
