Python v. Scheme

I'm taking prog I in the fall, it's Python-based. Would I be well-served to start SICP and learn Scheme in the meantime? Also what's with the anti-lisp-itry, I haven't been on /prog/ in a couple weeks and when I left no one was declaring lisp a cancer.

Python is mostly geared toward programmers who have certain techniques they like

You're a fucking idiot. Go back to serving your hourly paying job you fucking non programming monkey.
