Dear School Board Directors, Principal, Technology Director, Health Directors, and Teachers,
We hope you are having a wonderful summer.
I know that our teachers and staff do not really have the whole summer "off"; however, most of the lesson plans for the entire school year are created during the summer. Much of the planning on whether or not our children will be learning from in-person discussion, textbooks, whiteboards, projectors, or wireless devices are being decided in a few weeks.
We will be so happy to have our child back in classes in the fall, learning in person with you, and able to make friends. We appreciate how much care and joy you put into providing a great education for all the kids. Thank you!!!!
However, we are very concerned with the amount of time the students are spending in front of wireless electronic devices in class.
I did not want to learn about wireless radiation and its harmful effects when other mothers began telling me about it, but eventually, I did. I am not sure what you know about it, but when I addressed this issue directly with the Principal and the Technology director of his past school, he said the school follows FCC guidelines.
I appreciate that. However, the fact is that the FCC "safety" standards do not include children (test were done on full-grown man-sized rubber dummy), do not include a prolonged amount of time (more than 30 minutes), are over 30 years old ( the FCC is currently being sued to update them), and do not include multiple devices in one room or routers. So, therefore and unfortunately, any school technology director or teacher that follows FCC guidelines is actually not following guidelines with our children's safety in mind.
In fact, there are over 8000 studies showing harm to animals and thousands of more papers showing harm to humans and children who are consistently exposed to wireless radiation. One study showed damage to brain cells after only 1 hour of exposure to wireless radiation per day for one month. Every minute our children are exposed to wireless radiation puts them at higher risk of learning and behavioral disorders, weakened immune systems, cancer, and reproductive damage. In one study, after 18 weeks of two daily sessions of 3 hours of exposure, "the majority of the sperm of the rats were dead."
Please watch this wireless exposure lecture by an expert, Dr. Devra Davis, who focuses on the impact of wireless frequency exposure on children here.
Especially during a time when having a strong immune system is crucial, it impacts whether or not our county is shut down, and our livelihoods are affected, I would hope our school personnel would make it a top priority to do whatever they can to protect every child’s immune system by limiting wireless radiation exposure.
At home, our child’s laptop is hard-wired, which greatly reduces radiation exposure. We want him to go to school very much. He said, however, that he is on a wireless device for nearly an hour per class.
If he is taking 5 classes per day, he is exposed to nearly five hours a day of wireless technology in school. Children that are not hardwired like our child go home and do homework for another hour or two in front of a wireless device, easily totaling at least six or seven hours without video game playing time. Granted, they are not rats, but children and teens are developing, and their immune systems' strength is important. And animal studies are widely accepted to be indicative of human health impacts.
A recent report in USA today sounds the alarm of falling sperm count rates across the nation. In addition to contributing to learning and behavioral issues, weakened immune systems exposure to wireless devices could be rendering our offspring incapable of having children later in life.
Our nation's schools are legally obligated to provide safe school environments. Children who are sensitive or have weakened immune systems would be disadvantaged by exposure to wireless radiation and must be accommodated.
I am asking you to please make an effort and provide a safe school environment this fall.
