I think its important to narrow down what schools you are talking about (K-12 vs else), and the relative importance of computer programming education among the leaders. I don't think there's any question that a career in computer programming, built on a good start in K-12 can lead many to well paying jobs. However K-12 is struggling to provide the basics (with programs like Art, Music, PE, etc being cut) in many markets. It isn't a question of "what programming language do we teach?" it is "do we offer programming classes at all?". The leaders need to be in a position where they can select platforms based on competitiveness rather than focusing all decisions just on survival. They exist - and those are the ones that can be convinced.
