Since when has the government promoted literacy? Just look at our public school system.

Yeah, pretty sure a private organization would do a better job with this than the government.

As much as I would love people to be more cyber literature, including myself, individuals need to take responsibility for their own education. And not depend on the government.

Since when does the federal government need a bill for "recruiting cybersecurity workers for DHS"? And "filing a report on ways to increase the presence of ethnic minorities in cybersecurity"? Oh, please! Ethnic minorities don't need government hand-holding any more than white people do! "A fellowship program where state and local officials can learn from national cybersecurity professionals"? Don't make me laugh! The federal government has enough trouble just trying to make their own computer networks secure from foreign hackers, and when you have corrupt officials like Hillary Clinton ignoring security protocols to hide her own shady activities, well, you don't inspire much confidence and trust in the rest of us! • "A Board of Advisors for K-12 tech education"? ENOUGH OF FEDERAL MEDDLING IN THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN! THE LEFT HAS IMPLEMENTED TOO MANY POLICIES AS IT IS THAT ARE GEARED TOWARD DUMBING DOWN THE POPULATION, IN ORDER TO KEEP PEOPLE DEPENDENT ON THE NANNY STATE! AND YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FEDERAL GRANTS THAT ALWAYS COME WITH STRINGS ATTACHED! If you TRULY want a well educated and prosperous citizenry, restore our freedoms and remove the chains of government regulations that bind us! Honor your oath to preserve, protect and obey the Constitution! Quit just paying it lip service! WE DON'T WANT SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, AND/OR GLOBALISM IN AMERICA!

This is a silly approach!

More computer literate people = more hackers

More cyber literacy would produce more sophisticated hackers quite as fast as the average user would gain sophistication in thwarting them. The Chinese have used their sophistication to crack all levels of banking and defense and the energy grid already, while we slept complacently.

Let's see what will happen with such a situation and the fact that the federal government's liberal faction want federal control over the internet: everybody crazy enough to do so will have so much information on the internet that government will know absolutely everything about us. EVERYTHING! That we who do not want to put our private information online, and do not want to deal with government without actual papers signed and documented by government officials, exist will be irrelevant. We will be forced to do all "paperwork" without papers that government officials have actually documented. This is already being pushed at the federal and state levels. I want something in writing on a physical document (paper) that proves I: submitted tax forms, paid taxes, purchased and sold real estate, possess a legitimate ID (driver's license, passport, etc.), and completed all other government-mandated informational actions. Trusting bureaucrats to document these through "air" is not good enough.

There's already a great catalyst for computer literacy in the U.S., our free market economy.

Education is not part of home land security!

Please, no more ineptly delivered programs by the federal government!
