TLDR: 'The school website acknowledges that the term "decolonization" is ill-defined'
I was not aware that computer science was developed by some other group, then colonized and taken over by Western countries. If so, I absolutely agree - the terms and names used in CS education should be reverted to accurately reflect the peoples that discovered them!
