Gotta love the authoritarianism of the open source evangelists.

"Schools should only be allowed to use and teach with open source software."

So that's be freedom for thee but not for me. Good to know.

Public schools are part of the government, and the government should absolutely be held to higher standards than its citizens.

Schools should maximize student learning among many other competing dimensions (cost, accessibility, etc). Where does a commitment to OSS sit in that list?

Yes, freedom to line BillG's pockets, rather than contribute to society.
