Bring it to the meeting, but this is not really a good policy.
We have objectives to reach with education, and without question certain tools are better for certain missions over other tools.
Nothing will tarnish NYLXS's name more than suggesting a program and a set of tools which fails to me our targeted goals. The successful competion of desired end points is what builds a reputation. Encouraging a willy-nilly free for all, anything is good, will not provide any genuine successes and it will cause the schools, and NYLXS to fail in it's essential educational mission.
