I think they should. Computer Science should have gone away a long time ago, but with lack of anything else relevant people are forced into it when they want to be software engineers, web developers, database administrators, etc. I am highly biased though, I think education of this type should be something like 90% hands on 10% theory, as apposed to the opposite of what it is.
