Unfortunately, this is also not too common. I have a son in High School in California, most schools think tech training means buying a bunch of ipads, or teaching the kids to use M$ word.

As a note on organizing, I would encourage anyone who is able, to attend the "Hackers On Planet Earth" conference in Manhattan in late July:

There is a presentation on this subject by Richard Stallman:

"Freedom and Privacy in Our Lives, Our Governments, and Our Schools"

This is a great conference in general. If you are able, come mingle and communicate with similarly informed and motivated people.
