-<p>With the current landscape of educational institutions planning to 
-introduce new technologies, we need to be careful. Without proper 
-consideration and action, we may find ourselves in a reality even more 
-similar to the one described in <cite>The Right to Read</cite>. School 
-boards have already made mistakes in the past, like with Texas Instruments. 
-I would urge everyone to start pushing against this sort of terms. Here are 
-a couple of suggestions:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>During the decision process about which textbooks to use, you could 
-petition your school to consider the terms and conditions of ebook 
-services and make it a requirement that ebooks be DRM-free and 
-downloadable.</li> 
-
-<li>You could start the preparation of a textbook for your local 
-cirriculum and publish it under a free license such as the <a 
-href="/licenses/licenses.html#FDL">GNU Free Documentation License</a>, 
-<a 
-href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/";>CC BY-SA</a>, or
-similar.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>Last but not least, support the FSF's
-<a 
-href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/";>campaign</a> to abolish DRM.</p>
-
-<p>Let's make sure schools don't punish learning.</p>
-
-<h3>Thanks</h3>
