>> and object-oriented design is pretty out of fashion

OO isn't debunked and its not out of fashion.

All that's happened is that it's no longer gospel that "the only way to program is OO".

I write code that has all sorts of styles and approaches that fit the task at hand and sometimes the right tool for the job is OO.

I get the sense you're saying that OO has been proven to be hokum and no one should learn it or do it anymore and all that remains OO is the smoking ruin of 20 years of Java. That's not correct at all.

You’re assuming an exaggeration of their point. The question at hand is whether OO is so fundamental as the backbone of a computer science 101 course. This doesn’t preclude much of what you said.

how did it ever become gospel. given the diversity of human experiences, and the the diversity of problems we have to tackle, it is near impossible for there to be one and only way to solve a problem.
