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.'"
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...
Not dumb just the ideas they are teaching.
Just look at climate change it goes by the same idea "we don't know if it is happening but we have to stop the action in cause it turns out be true"
Damn straight. Catholics don't have the right to say anything about anything!!!! Light your pitchforks brethren!!!!!
Again you go with the corporate lie. Airport radars, high power transmission lines, microwave ovens, xrays, mobile phones, flourescent light fittings, high power radio and TV transmissions, lighting, none of this things exist they are just in your imagination. Only the wifi in your notebook in front of you exists, forget the rest, look at the bright shiny watch as I wave it in your face forget everything else, only the wifi in your notebook exists.
Sorry chump, but I won't bite, cumulative load is real and is the problem. Eliminating elements of that load is a real and needed priority. Listening to corporate toads who sell their crap while pretending the rest doesn't exist is a sure path to disaster.
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
