"Teachers are sorely in need of an education in what open source
software is, what it isn't, and how it can benefit their students. A
recent news story at the Reg discussed the case of a Texas teacher who
accused those distributing Linux to students of committing criminal
acts. A HeliOS blog entry exposes a 'higher education' culture of
apathy, lies, and fear of open source software. Things have got to
improve, and that improvement needs to start with misguided teachers
getting their facts straight."
