Is there a way to make loading the jQuery library optional?

Is there a way to make loading the jquery library optional? Joomla 3 loads it by default, and I've disabled it in other apps that are supposed to load it, but I see this (with proper script tags, obviously):

script src="https://app.mysite.com/media/foundry/4.0/scripts/jquery.js

It's loading a different version of jQuery as well: "jQuery JavaScript Library v1.11.1pre" vs. Joomla's "jQuery v1.11.1"

Joomla's jQuery loads after this, with noconflict mode enabled, so I doubt it's conflicting, but I don't see the point in loading two different versions (especially since EasySocial's looks like a pre-release version of jQuery 1.11.1)
