'Wi-Fi Illness' Spreads To Ontario Public Schools

An anonymous reader writes "Readers of Slashdot might be familiar with Lakehead University's ban on WiFi routers a few years ago in Thunder Bay, Ontario because of 'health concerns,' a policy apparently still in effect. Now it seems a group of concerned parents in a number of communities in Ontario have petitioned the local school boards over similar concerns at public schools, where their kids are apparently experiencing 'headaches to dizziness and nausea and even racing heart rates' — symptoms that appear only when they are in school on weekdays, not on weekends at home. 'The symptoms, which also include memory loss, trouble concentrating, skin rashes, hyperactivity, night sweats and insomnia, have been reported in 14 Ontario schools in Barrie, Bradford, Collingwood, Orillia and Wasaga Beach since the board decided to go wireless ...' Besides Wi-Fi signals, could there possibly be any other logical explanation for kids having more symptoms of illness on school days than at home on weekends or in the summer?"

It's funny, you seem to imply that because you have a low ID, your style of post is somehow "more correct" than mine,

I made no such claim. You're the one with the psychological problem that's making you bitch about something that's not your decision to make.

"I've been here longer, so I'm right, and you're wrong, newb" seems to be the gist of your rebuttal.

Rebuttal? What's to rebut? You bitch about something I do, I decline to conform to your demands. No rebuttal needed.

All I'm saying is it irritates the fuck out of me

Grow up and cope, sunshine.
