Is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of the constant onslaught of feel-good "code for the children" stuff?

After discovering at least three different non-profits dedicated to teaching children to code, I am starting to think it is not children that need help, but adults.

My only problem is that it feels a little too indoctrinating, but then I'm jaded by my personal experience with a developer who is ushering his kids into programming without giving them any career choice. But then I was forced into piano at a young age (in my dad's hope of following him as a musician), so I can't complain too much.

It's a backlash against iPods, really.
