Okay, having now actually read more than just the pull-quote above, it seems the teacher is not merely an unwitting dupe -- she's an imbecile.

"...putting Linux on these machines is holding our kids back."

Well, I suppose, maybe, if you've foolishly mandated that your students submit all their writing assignments as MSWord files. Of course, OpenOffice addresses that issue. I can't even begin to imagine how to argue against such willful opacity.

"This is a world where Windows runs on virtually every computer and putting on a carnival show for an operating system is not helping these children at all."

I know a fellow in Cupertino who would jolly well like to speak to you about that. Look for the guy in the black turtleneck...
