Ontario Teachers' Union Calls For Health-Related Classroom Wi-Fi Ban

Posted by Soulskill on Monday February 13, 2012 @09:41AM from the frying-their-developing-brains dept.

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.'"

If you ask me, these computers are all giving us cancer too... of course, the corporatist plutocrats don't want you to know that.
Back to pencils and paper in the classroom, if it were up to me...
