Ontario Teachers' Union Calls For Health-Related Classroom Wi-Fi Ban
New submitter KJE writes "The CBC is reporting that an Ontario teachers' union is calling for an end to new Wi-Fi setups in the province's 1,400-plus Catholic schools. The Ontario English Catholic Teacher's Association (OECTA) says computers in all new schools should be hardwired instead of setting up wireless networks. The OECTA, in its paper (PDF), said the 'safety of this technology has not thoroughly been researched and therefore the precautionary principle and prudent avoidance of exposure should be practiced.'"

They didn't also require AC receptacle plug covers installed so electricity doesn't leak out of the wall sockets and give everyone cancer.

I would expect this from Alberta, but Ontario?
If someone is passing you on the right, you are an asshole for driving in the wrong lane.
Two points
1) It was a joke.
2) It was not a single educator.
But thanks for playing.
Teachers.
I say we get them out of classrooms. I mean, they could be causing cancer in our children. I know this might seem like crazy talk, but I know three kids who developed cancer after going to school, and I don't know of any who developed cancer without attending school. And cancer rates have been on the increase ever since mandatory public education was introduced to society. No scientific study has proved that there is no link between teachers and cancer, despite the best efforts of the pharmaceutical-educational complex that runs the New World Order these days.
Wake up, sheeple!
How does someone use the phrase `corporatist plutocrats` and not get modded into oblivion?
Something to do with 'sheeple', I'm sure.
They should ban the ingesting of the Eucharist as the science is still not settled on the effects of transubstantiation.
"Honestly, I think it's time to re-evaluate the usefullness and legitimacy of the "Precautionary Principle"."
Let's play safe and keep it instead. Think of the children.

My offer is $100, but if your rock fails me, you must use some of that $100 to buy a wireless router to kill the Lion that ate me.
Just because you are wrong and I called you out on it doesn't mean I am a Troll.
Exactly. They have hire people to carry those data-packets around.
Make them leave their brains in their cars. ...
Oh, it appears they already have.

Seems like the local IT would rise up in opposition.
Are you kidding? All that spectrum no longer being used? We could have wireless internet at gigabit speeds on mountain tops! And thanks to the ban on EM radiation, no-one will be allowed to use the equipment needed to detect that we're doing it!
No, the real reason was what happens if you walk into a hospital and say you are there for an NMR (say it out loud, quickly).
