"I am sure you strongly believe in what you are doing but I cannot either support your efforts or allow them to happen in my classroom," writes the teacher, identified only as Karen.

Because open-source is illegal now?

She's pretty much a dick. What's wrong with Linux exactly?

"I am sure if you contacted Microsoft, they would be more than happy to supply you with copies of an older verison of Windows and that way, your computers would actually be of service to those receiving them..."

lol

That response was amazing.

Nothing, she is just massively ignorant. Read the article, it is amazing. She acts as if a larger portion of servers aren't run on Linux. She does not get the point of Linux and that it IS free and open source.

What a bitch.

She must think it's some kind of pirating source. She is obviously confuzeld.
