Allow me to offer a counterpoint, I have encountered numerous jobs where having LabVIEW on my resume was helpful to me. But I also list C/C++, Python, Ruby, Java, and a handful of other languages I've picked up over the years.
As for the topic, if your mentor force (or students) feel more comfortable working in or helping with another language switch to that one. If they don't have a preference any of the languages will teach programming concepts equally well. LV might also have a benefit in that most students will never take a course on it. Most of this comes down to preference though.
