Apart from minor skirmishes that surface now and again, Bill Gate’s multi-million dollar establishment unleashes unparalleled allegation against Google. “Google is corrupting your kids at school”’ argues Microsoft in the latest “Scroogled” ad. “Google is peddling vitamin supplements to kids’, hollers Microsoft’s Redmond. Google for School, he adds, is full of ads that are no good for kids.

A lot more has also come out of the same vein: “Please don’t let your children resume school. At least, not until those venal principals have stopped allowing your children’s minds to be warped like plastic in the Sahara”.

“Did you know that your children are being pushed to get a mortgage? Did you know they’re being encouraged to get a free credit report? Those sweet innocent minds are even being teased into buying vitamin supplements.”- It rattles further.

Who is behind this heinous hucksterism? Why, it’s the Do-No-Evilers down at Google, claims Microsoft. “The corruption is palpable” adds the software giant, “Now here is Google corrupting young minds with issues far beyond their scope.

But then it asserts that “help is at hand. There is Bing for Schools. It is absolutely ad-free.

When students use Google for searches in school, asserts Microsoft, they are shown ads that can distract from their studies. Bing for schools removes all ads from searches on the school’s network, adds strict filters to help prevent adult content, and enhances privacy protection.

Bing for Schools is available at no charge for K-12 schools in the U.S., public or private—send a sign-up request for your child’s school. This is an initial pilot program and space is limited.

As part of Microsoft’s continued focus on promoting digital literacy in education, the Bing for Schools program offers daily lesson plans designed to teach search skills, Bing Rewards enhancements to help earn Microsoft Surface RT tablets for schools, and, for schools admitted to the pilot program, a tailored Bing search experience for K-12 students when on the school network. Schools participating in the search pilot will receive ad-free Bing search, strict filtering to help block adult content, and augmented privacy protections. School districts can register for these search enhancements now; a limited number will be accepted into the initial pilot, with other schools being notified about future eligibility. But many of the educational features of Bing for Schools are available to non-pilot schools as well, so be sure to explore all the ways you can support digital literacy in your school.

Bottom line: It is nothing but childlike covetousness that helps none but these corporate giants who just love mud slinging at each other and that too, at the cost of innocent public.
