I'm pretty sure it's quite hubristic to presume to know what Jesus would do about this - if anything

This is what Jesus said and did about money changing and the sale of items for which the people of God coming to God’s house had a legitimate need to fulfill their religious obligations:

John 2:

[13] And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[14] And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
[15] And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
[16] And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

[17] And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

Affirmative, it makes a mockery of something that is supposed to be a learning/teaching environment.
