   @strypey @jppelt @GotNothing @fatboy @lightweight I'm not saying I agree with the argument, but when we've tried to push FOSS over commercial solutions, this is usually what we hear from faculty and parents.

   I hate with a passion things like "Microsoft Educator" programs or "Apple Lighthouse Schools". Because it is entirely that, locking in the next generation, "getting them while they're young".

   But most people are not interested in technology idealism, and it is a big road block

     Public education is a situation where I think FOSS should be mandated. Public money public code. They want my tax dollars then I get a say.
