An "anonymous" teacher named Karen from an unnamed middle school in the Austin School district just doesn't seem to get it. She wrote an angry email to an organization that GIVES free laptops loaded with Linux to bright school children. She accused the organization of doing the students a disservice by steering them away from Microsoft and promised to investigate whether they were up to something that was illegal.

Excerpt:

No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful. These children look up to adults for guidance and discipline. I will research this as time allows and I want to assure you, if you are doing anything illegal, I will pursue charges as the law allows.

This email is so unbelievably ignorant to come from a teacher that I almost question its authenticity. I am guessing that she never googled "free software." Perhaps she's never heard of google and only does her searches from msn.com...

For some reason, they decided to censor the last name of the teacher and the school at which she teaches. Being the douche that I am, here are the names of ALL Karens who are teachers at Middle Schools in the Austin Independant School District:

Karen Bailey - Martin Middle School
Karen Brennan - Martin Middle School
Karen Case - Murchison Middle School
Karen Ciesla - O'Henry Middle School
Karen Donsbach - Bailey Middle School
Karen Greathouse - Clint Small Middle School
Karen Green - Murchison Middle School
Karen Harris - Covington Middle School
Karen Jackson - Bailey Middle School
Karen Noyes - Murchison Middle School
Karen Schipper - Kealing Middle School
Karen Terry - Mendez Middle School
