Would it be disastrous for 4chan if public education started

Why, is JavaScript knowledge a precious commodity only 4chan has?

People who know programming have the power to control the direction of a website from the sidelines through injected code.
As more people learn how to program you can expect that more people will start trying to shape the direction of a website how they see fit making things much hard for management to run their operations.

In 4chan's case I can think up a lot of automated scripts that would make things push moderators and janitors to burnout.
I would only use them on /qa/ if the board is in need of more power, but because they would be designed in JS that implies that anyone can install them on their machine if they get my code.

No, it would improve it because more people would be involved in making and sharing userscripts that improved their experience.

You overestimate how much kids learn in school. A little programming course will not turn everyone into a programmer. They just go through the motions to complete the course. Those who are actually interested are self-motivated and will hence learn more. I saw this already in the 90s. Or how about this, do you think everyone who completed some Coursera beginner course on Python or whatever are now programming in their free time? I very much doubt it. I'd bet more than 90% of those who completed such a course do next to nothing with what they learned during the course and probably later forgot most of it, and these are people who consciously chose to enroll.

The idea though is increased accessibility will mean that more people are going to start seeing flaws in the way online services are built.
More hackers, more ban evaders and more nuisances because of increased access to
the knowledge of how technology works.

Normally that would result in the flaws getting fixed quicker; unfortunately that would require competent administration.
