+<em>What are the threats? Surveillance. Censorship. Restrictions. 
+Software that users can't control.</em> &mdash;From <a

+Society</cite></a>, a speech by Richard Stallman, 2011.</p>
+
+<p>Every sphere of our lives today has been permeated with proprietary 
+digital technologies that Big Tech uses as instruments of surveillance 
+and mistreatment. The main way to fight back this potent empire of 
+megacorporations is to empower citizens with the ability to inspect and 
+control the software they use. Entrusted with the mission to contribute
+to the betterment of society, it is the responsibility of all 
+educational institutions to provide students with the means to exercise
+their computer rights by teaching and installing only <a
+href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free/libre software</a> at school. There 
+is no legitimate alternative to free software in schools. Free software 
+is an essential condition, not merely an option, to pursue their social 
+mission. Today <a
