I think that's a grossly misleading characterization. Code.org is offering a small ($750) stipend to teachers who successfully complete a course. That is not pay, that's a minor incentivizing bonus. A further $250 is given to teachers whose class had at least 7 female students. (NOT 40%; if you have 7 females and 25 males, you still get that $250.)
Calling that a "pay deduction" is misleading at best. Calling it a percentage-based quota is flat incorrect.
