@aral What initiative are you referring to, specifically? -
@stevecarpenter There are several that fit the criterion; I am referring to them all. -
@aral Hmm. I teach my kids how to code, to respect and value each other's work and to collaborate. They don't care who that's sponsored by. -
@stevecarpenter No, they won’t care who it’s sponsored by. Who it’s sponsored by will affect the values that are taught and normalised. -
@aral@stevecarpenter these companies aren’t doing this stuff for philanthropy, unfortunately…
