[plt-scheme] Fwd: Revenue-neutral Adjustment for Functional Programming

The ACM Curriculum board has agreed to consider a proposal on  
including FP as an equal to OOP (10 "hours" each) in the standard  
curriculum.

Please consider contributing comments to the web site. A simple "Yes,  
I think this is a great idea" will be helpful.

Thanks -- Matthias
