+
+&lt;p&gt;Educational activities (including schools) have a moral duty
+to &lt;a href="/education/education.html"&gt;teach only free
+software.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;All computer users ought to 
+<span class="inserted"><ins><em>&lt;a 
href="/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html"&gt;</em></ins></span>
+insist on free <span

+the freedom to control their own computers&mdash;with proprietary
+software, the program does what its owner or developer wants it to do,
+not what the user wants it to do.  Free software also gives users the
+freedom to cooperate with each other, to lead an upright life.  These
+reasons apply to schools as they do to everyone.  However, the purpose
+of this article is to present the additional reasons that apply
+specifically to education.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Free software can save schools money, but this is a secondary
+benefit.  Savings are possible because free software gives schools,
+like other users, the freedom to copy and redistribute the software;
+the school system can give a copy to every school, and each school can
+install the program in all its computers, with no obligation to pay
+for doing so.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This benefit is useful, but we firmly refuse to give it first place,
+because it is shallow compared to the important ethical issues at
+stake.  Moving schools to free software is more than a way to make
+education a little &ldquo;better&rdquo;: it is a matter of doing good
+education instead of bad education.  So let's consider the deeper
+issues.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Schools have a social mission: to teach students to be citizens of
+a strong, capable, independent, cooperating and free society.  They
+should promote the use of free software just as they promote
+conservation and voting.  By teaching students free software, they can
+graduate citizens ready to live in a free digital society.  This will
+help society as a whole escape from being dominated by
+megacorporations.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In contrast, to teach a nonfree program is implanting dependence,
+which goes counter to the schools' social mission.  Schools should
+never do this.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Why, after all, do some proprietary software developers offer
+gratis copies&lt;a href="#note1"&gt;(1)&lt;/a&gt; of their nonfree programs to
+schools?  Because they want to &lt;em&gt;use&lt;/em&gt; the schools to implant
+dependence on their products, like tobacco companies distributing
+gratis cigarettes to school children&lt;a href="#note2"&gt;(2)&lt;/a&gt;.  They
+will not give gratis copies to these students once they've graduated,
+nor to the companies that they go to work for.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Free software permits students to learn how software works.  Some
+students, natural-born programmers, on reaching their teens yearn to
+learn everything there is to know about their computer and its
+software.  They are intensely curious to read the source code of the
+programs that they use every day.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Proprietary software rejects their thirst for knowledge: it says,
+&ldquo;The knowledge you want is a secret&mdash;learning is
+forbidden!&rdquo; Proprietary software is the enemy of the spirit of
+education, so it should not be tolerated in a school, except as an
+object for reverse engineering.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Free software encourages everyone to learn. The free software
+community rejects the &ldquo;priesthood of technology&rdquo;, which
+keeps the general public in ignorance of how technology works; we
+encourage students of any age and situation to read the source code
+and learn as much as they want to know.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Schools that use free software will enable gifted programming
+students to advance.  How do natural-born programmers learn to be good
+programmers?  They need to read and understand real programs that
+people really use.  You learn to write good, clear code by reading
+lots of code and writing lots of code.  Only free software permits
+this.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;How do you learn to write code for large programs?  You do that by
+writing lots of changes in existing large programs.  Free Software
+lets you do this; proprietary software forbids this.  Any school can
+offer its students the chance to master the craft of programming, but
+only if it is a free software school.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The deepest reason for using free software in schools is for moral
+education. We expect schools to teach students basic facts and useful
+skills, but that is only part of their job. The most fundamental task
+of schools is to teach good citizenship, including the habit of
+helping others. In the area of computing, this means teaching people
+to share software.  Schools, starting from nursery school, should tell
+their students, &ldquo;If you bring software to school, you must share
+it with the other students.  You must show the source code to the
+class, in case someone wants to learn.  Therefore bringing nonfree
+software to class is not permitted, unless it is for
+reverse-engineering work.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Of course, the school must practice what it preaches: it should
+bring only free software to class (except objects for
+reverse-engineering), and share copies including source code with the
+students so they can copy it, take it home, and redistribute it
+further.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Teaching the students to use free software, and to participate in
+the free software community, is a hands-on civics lesson.  It also
+teaches students the role model of public service rather than that of
+tycoons.  All levels of school should use free software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you have a relationship with a school &mdash;if you are a
+student, a teacher, an employee, an administrator, a donor, or a
+parent&mdash; it's your responsibility to campaign for the school to
+migrate to free software.  If a private request doesn't achieve the
+goal, raise the issue publicly in those communities; that is the way
+to make more people aware of the issue and find allies for the
+campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ol&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a id="note1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Warning: a school that 
accepts such an
+offer may find subsequent upgrades rather expensive.&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

+lets you do this; proprietary software forbids this.  Any school can
+offer its students the chance to master the craft of programming, but
+only if it is a free software school.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The deepest reason for using free software in schools is for moral
+education. We expect schools to teach students basic facts and useful
+skills, but that is only part of their job. The most fundamental task
+of schools is to teach good citizenship, including the habit of
+helping others. In the area of computing, this means teaching people
+to share software.  Schools, starting from nursery school, should tell
+their students, &ldquo;If you bring software to school, you must share
+it with the other students.  You must show the source code to the
+class, in case someone wants to learn.  Therefore bringing nonfree
+software to class is not permitted, unless it is for
+reverse-engineering work.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Of course, the school must practice what it preaches: it should
+bring only free software to class (except objects for
+reverse-engineering), and share copies including source code with the
+students so they can copy it, take it home, and redistribute it
+further.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Teaching the students to use free software, and to participate in
+the free software community, is a hands-on civics lesson.  It also
+teaches students the role model of public service rather than that of
+tycoons.  All levels of school should use free software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you have a relationship with a school &mdash;if you are a
+student, a teacher, an employee, an administrator, a donor, or a
+parent&mdash; it's your responsibility to campaign for the school to
+migrate to free software.  If a private request doesn't achieve the
+goal, raise the issue publicly in those communities; that is the way
+to make more people aware of the issue and find allies for the
+campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ol&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a id="note1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Warning: a school that 
accepts such an
+offer may find subsequent upgrades rather expensive.&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
