Right, so... just don't teach Java and OO at all? They're not fundamental. Some of the ideas in that course are something closer to discredited.

If by discredited you mean incorporated into many of the most used languages as well as several of the hot new ones then yes.

Furthermore part of PLT is learning the past and what worked and what didn't.
