Schools are supposed to be as unideological as possible, and they're definitely not supposed to act as free advertising for corporations. If you use Amazon for all your textbooks from the age of 5, how much are you going to think about whether to use Amazon for everything else? What if Amazon only carries textbooks with an ideological slant they support?
