I'm sure these topics become relevant at some point, but I'm doubtful that it's absolutely necessary to address them in an intro course. how does leftist ideology help kids understand what a while loop does

like, literacy can do all of these things too, that doesn't mean you have to introduce those concepts at the same time as the abc's

I've had the same approach from the other side of the aisle and let me tell you, talking about open source and liberal ideals in programming would be a lot less hostile than some fundie rant.

in my first semester of compsci we learned about chomsky hierarchy pretty much on day one, while we learned about while loops like a month later.
