@bastetfurry @janet_catcus the only thing cooler would be if they did a #transparent version, but I also know why they didn't and instead chose said muted colour pallet: As those are easily sourceable, child-safe (if not medical- or food-grade), and available as recycling plastics. Also said colours don't directly show ABS's yellowing under sunlight that distinctively.

Keeping costs down, compared to the high prices of optically clear, non-discoloured plastic ehich also tends to be more brittle, and also may not be an option due to the way they pulled a "#ThinkPadnium" style metal reinforcement of the chassis, as they clearly worked out a mix of elastic deformation (TPU), lightweight flexing and stiffening is the way to make a machine that is more forgiving in terms of abuse without designing it to be an unwieldy, heavy industrial appliance.

So yeah, I do want to see @frameworkcomputer release the #Framework12 and maybe some compact #Desktop case that is essentially allowing to shove a Framework 12 or #Framework13 mainboard and keyboard in and have a low-footprint unit like the #RaspberryPi #Pi400 & #Pi500 units. Or just some case one can bolt onto #VESA mounts at a screen (similar to a #ThinkStation Tiny / #ThinkCentre Tiny) and use those for #Classrooms.

I hope they have some nice #Stylus slot & lanyard option similar to the #X230Tablet I still daily-drive today.

The Biden admin encouraged schools in the opposite direction, promoting #diversity & #equity initiatives & directing schools to #respect #transgender students’ rights, but it NEVER tried to CONDITION federal FUNDING on what was taught in #classrooms. The #Education Dept during #Trump’s first term also did not try to #dictate #curriculum, w/then-Secretary Betsy DeVos arguing that the curriculum should be decided at the local level.

An award-winning #book about the true story of the #SameSex #penguin couple raising a chick was banned in #Florida in response to the state's #DontSayGay #law.

The 2005 book #AndTangoMakesThree by Justin Richardson & Peter Parnell was removed from #libraries & #classrooms in Florida.

The school board said titles were "administratively removed due to content regarding #SexualOrientation / #gender identification prohibited in #HB1557.”

It is imperative that we #protect #science #education from “#intelligentdesign” and other alternative “#theories”

Suggestion:
Maybe he could inform students that he is not allowed to inform them of that.

Then right after that, add his personal opinions on the sensibility of not knowingly spreading ANY diseases, and preach how not coming to class sick (with anything) is more Biblically in line with #WWJD -- "Do unto others" means "don't make the rest of us sick."

Maybe by making it relevant to diseases in general, instead of #Covid specifically, AND by incorporating #BiblicalTeachings, he can get around their rule.
