Let's Walk Through the Curriculum
Why Python3?
Short version: Python 2.x is legacy, Python 3.x is the present and future of the language
Python3 vs. Python2
From the Python Wiki:
It's a little more complicated than that
It's taken a very long time for people/companies to switch over.
Python2.x is still commonly used

ALMOST 10 Years Later....
The situation has improved a lot.
So Why Learn Python3?
It's easiest to learn Python3.x and then learn the differences/quirks of Python2.x
It's almost been 10 years. Many of the main criticisms are no longer valid.
Almost all popular packages support 3.x now. It's no longer a sacrifice to use 3.x
IT'S THE FUTURE
