Parents Sue School Over Use of Wi-Fi Network
Iphtashu Fitz writes "Both news.com and
Wired are
reporting that an Illinois school district is being sued by parents over their use of
a Wi-Fi network at a local elementary school. Apparently the parents of 5 students
are concerned about potential health risks to their children by the Wi-Fi radio signals.
The parents are seeking class-action status for their suit, which seeks to halt the use
of wireless networks but does not ask for monetary damages. The complete complaint is also available for your reading pleasure on wifinetnews.com." I would never have guessed that the emissions from a wireless network are bad, unlike the healthy emissions given off by the now inescapable cell phones that are everywhere in public.
Based on a recent article that says that 3G use has been observed to make people sick....
I think they should have installed 3G cards in all the computers, and not Wi-Fi cards, so the fat kids would feel sick and not eat so much school pizza, fries, oreo's and drink so much Coke.
That's where the lawsuit should be focused. The long term health effects of fat and sugar filled school food.
No Karma on this one.. *grin*
Man... that took quite a long time before this lawsuit happened. But I am glad it did. GSM networks in europe have had this discussion. UTMS networks in europe are even more dangerous and will have to be looked into. But rarely I hear people discuss WIFI/health risks. About time ! Thank you.
The names and addresses of the parents weren't difficult to find. Let's give them a call or two and teach them a thing or two about radio waves. Or, if you aren't the talking type, write them a nice little letter.

Never consider going into public education.
