Computer Science as a Core Class or Math Elective?

"If you look at history, the nations with economic superiority are building the tools the rest of the world is using."
--Chris Stephenson, executive director of the New York-based Computer Science Teachers Association

Our young generation is very adept in using technology...if we want to maintain our tie between empowering education and an economic stronghold, wouldn't computer science education become one of many viable answers?

Fewer high school students taking computer sciences classes

What do you think: are advanced high school mathematics classes outdated? Should Computer Science be offered as an alternative to AP Calculus classes? Am I completely full of it?
