WIFI: Warning to all parents

If WiFi inside our schools is safe, then PROVE it.

I keep reading about the Idaho school systems and their new WiFi contracts. I am a very concerned parent and more parents need to understand the negative potential health effects this new technology is proving to be.

As concerned parents it is not our responsibility to prove that WiFi in our schools is harmful to our kids. It is the school system leaders who need to prove it is SAFE!

Mr. Principal, since you have decided to pump our kids with this WiFi radiation all day long then I’m sure you must have research to prove it is absolutely safe for our kids. So we want to see the research that proves it is safe. Prove it, and we parents will stop our future rampage.

There are hundreds of published research papers that are showing daily WiFi exposure by children 18 and younger is VERY HARMFUL.

You have other options. Wire the school with ethernet and all the computers will have a direct connection for the kids to plug into. This will save the school system hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the WiFi contracts and limit your exposure to expensive legal battles over this kids health issue.

It is time to put the brakes on WiFi installations in our schools. And make this the most urgent conversation parents with children 18 and younger should participate in.

Thank you for your attention to this problem.
