Prolog, because it's easy to learn and able to teach many important CS concepts while having almost no usefulness outside of the classroom (note: this is a plus, we must maintain purity)
For CSE101 Javascript because it's the first and only scripting language anyone needs to know now that there's Node.js that blows everything the fuck out.
Haskell for theory classes.
C for those lower level classes that every school has.
Java for enterprise employment.

Lua assembly.
C, because of Aho and Ullman's Foundations of CS book.
Scheme, because of SICP, is the runner-up. The problem with SICP is that it is too focused on programming and too little on computer science.

Java or Python
C/pointers are kinda hard for beginners, C++ is a lot more complicated than C, C# is Microsoft cock, anything else isn't widely used.
Python is probably a better pedagogical tool considering the weirdness of Java being autistic with classes.

You usually have a separate class for languages and CS is in pseudocode.

C++11
Start with the low level stuff and gradually introduce higher level abstractions as they get the fundamentals down.

as much as i hate it: java
it's platform independent, you can learn the basics of imperative, structured and oop paradigm in it, the syntax is the same as in C which you'll have to learn later for your OS dev, microcontroller and compiler class, beginners wont have to deal with low level stuff they know nothing about, it's widely used, ...
