What future will we as a society choose? A future based on free software, or one where high school students have to cover their webcams with tape?
If you're with us, here's the plan: Create a listing of all school systems that provide every student with a laptop that includes:
- OS the laptops run
- Any security or monitoring software that's included
- Whether students are prohibited from using their own computers running free software
- A list of any additionally nasty characteristics on the provided laptops (beyond simply including proprietary software) like locked out features or remote monitoring software.
Example:
Lower Marion School District
- Mac OS X
- LANRev
- Students prohibited from using any other computer, or installing their own software on provided computers.
- Administrators can take screenshots, take photos from webcam, browse files. Administrators allegedly used webcam photos they took in students' homes as a basis for disciplinary measures.
