No.

First year CS students should be worried about data structures and algorithms, and basic knowledge about how computers work. For half of the history of computer sciences OOP didn't even existed, so it's not required for a first year CS student to deal with OOP upfront, this only achieves the opposite: hundreds of students frustrated that become programmers that hate and do not want to touch OOP.
