Why should they? I like C#, I do use it for "play" work applications I need to write (applications that are for my own testing of work things) however in school/college I think it's far more important to learn the fundamentals of how to write good programs rather than any specific language, I learnt Pascal, C, Fortran, Prolog and Edinburgh ML (don't ask) in School/College, I never use any of them anymore, at work it's either Cobol, COOL:Gen or C#, home use it's all C#, but it doesn't matter, because I understand the basic concepts and have a good grasp of how to write programs the only REAL difference is what functions are available and syntax for basic statements.
Unless the language is very different from current languages like C# it really doesn't matter at all which of them you learn at College (at least that's my take).
