Formal demand to Troy High School PTSA on wireless radiation

Troy PTSA, Principal Will Mynster, Troy Oracle Advisor Priscilla Cheney, and Anne Sinek, Harvard University interviewer, ignore the Harvard experts.

 

FJUHSD Board of Trustees, Troy teachers and administrators, ignore the California State PTA Resolution On Wireless FROM 2001 as they ram wireless onto all campuses.

http://www.electrosmogprevention.org/cell-phone-safety-campaign/california-state-pta-resolution-on-wireless/

This will be the 3rd communication to this group and there has not been one response acknowledging the harms set forth in these emails, only THE TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST by Kimberly Blanks, Cecile Guerra, denial and turning their backs on the students and staff.

The following is a formal demand letter to the Troy High School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), Fullerton, California.

 

Dear Ms.  Kim Cusick,

 

The wireless classroom environment is comprised of industrial size routers, enough devices for each student, all emitting microwave radiation within the physical confines of a single classroom.  Unless Wi-Fi mode is turned off, radiation exposure will be further increased by students with cell phones and other wireless devices.  Students and teachers will be exposed to radiation for whole school days/weeks/years.

The Troy Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) has actively and deliberately worked to bring RF-radiation into our children’s school environment, as evidenced by the following:

Fullerton Joint Union High School District meeting minutes of May 5, 2015, Troy High School PTSA donated $ 19,241.29 for the purchase of wireless Chromebooks to be used by students.

The following facts on microwave radiation are submitted to Troy PTSA, followed by demands to remove this health hazard from the Troy High School environment and work to educate students, teachers and staff on how to avoid exposure, in keeping with California State PTA, Section 4.5.64 and California State Constitution Article 1, Section 28(c), and maintain the tacit trust parents, students, teachers, and staff hold in the Troy PTSA.

___________________________________

WHEREAS, in May 2015, over 200 international scientists and engineers made an Appeal to the United Nations, all its’ member States, and the World Health Organization on the matter of wireless radiation, stating that our exposures are resulting in an emerging public health crisis, leading to premature death, damage to our DNA, the emission standards are not protective of human health [i]; and

WHEREAS, U.S. Government publications, going back decades, acknowledge adverse, significant biological effects of wireless radiation exposure:

Naval Medical Research Institute  |  2300 Studies on EMF Health Effects [ii]

Defense Intelligence Agency  |  Declassified 1976 report showing that military personnel exposed to non-thermal microwave radiation experienced “headaches, fatigue, dizziness, irritability, sleeplessness, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness and lack of concentration.” [iii]

U.S.  Air Force, Radiofrequency/Microwave Radiation Biological Effects and Safety Standards:  A Review | Study confirms existence of non-thermal EMF effects, including alterations to the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. [iv]

NASA, Electromagnetic Field Interactions With the Human Body:  Observed Effects and Theories   |   1981 paper showing numerous health affects from non-thermal electromagnetic fields; and  [v]

WHEREAS, thousands of scientific studies demonstrate that RF-radiation emissions are a significant health hazard:
Powerwatch  | Thousands of studies showing links between EMF pollution and biological effects
Research and Scientific Laboratory, Ford Motor Company  | The Effect of Micro Waves on the Central Nervous System
Just Prove It | Collection of over 6,000 studies showing biological impacts from EMF pollution

WHEREAS, emerging science demonstrates that wireless radiation exposures are carcinogenic.  Included in this science is the work of Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD, who concluded that RF-radiation “should be regarded as carcinogenic.  Current guidelines for exposure should be urgently revised.”  Science confirming Dr.  Hardell’s conclusion continues to be published, with at least two additional and significant studies to date; and [vi]

WHEREAS, in 2012, the Italian Supreme Court ruled that a man’s brain tumor was caused by the wireless radiation from his cell phone; and [vii]

WHEREAS, lawsuit “Murray v.  Motorola cell phone cancer lawsuit may cost wireless industry over $1.9 billion dollars”, as reported in the Wall Street Journal; and [viii]

WHEREAS, the U.S. government action lags decades behind the science and evidence in classifying a substance carcinogenic, as demonstrated with asbestos and tobacco, it took many decades before these were acknowledged as carcinogens and parents do not want to find out a decade from now that their children, whose health has been destroyed or life ended, were needlessly and knowingly exposed at Troy High School; and

WHEREAS, in 2011 RF-Radiation was IARC classified as a Group 2B carcinogen and is prohibited from use in schools per California State Education Code Sections 32060-32066 [ix]; Dr. Anthony Miller, cancer epidemiologist, served on a number of research groups for the IARC, in 2013 stated that if RF were classified today, it would have to be classified as a Group 2A probable human carcinogen. [x] However, now, peer-reviewed studies conclusively demonstrate RF to be a Group 1 carcinogen, that is, a “Known Carcinogen”; and

WHEREAS, reproductive harm has been documented in government reports and science: genotoxicity to DNA; damage to sperm, ovarian development and follicles, and reproductive systems leading to cancer, potential infertility and mutations.
“DNA damage caused by microwave radiation is irreparable.  It is passed on from mother to daughter, generation after generation.”  [xi]

WHEREAS, the California Medical Association (CMA) passed a Resolution on wireless in December 2014, finding “significant adverse health and biologic effects on living organisms with exposure to low levels of non-ionizing microwave currently approved and used in wireless communication”; “peer reviewed research has demonstrated adverse biological effects of wireless EMF including single and double stranded DNA breaks, creation of reactive oxygen species, immune dysfunction, cognitive processing effects, stress protein synthesis in the brain, altered brain development, sleep and memory disturbances, ADHD, abnormal behavior, sperm dysfunction and brain tumors”; “CMA understands that existing public safety limits (FCC) for microwave EMF devices are outdated and inadequate to protect public health;” and  [xii]

WHEREAS, Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) “is a condition that has been known since about 1932 and has been called various names in different countries around the world.  The labels include Microwave Sickness, Radio Wave Syndrome, EMF Intolerance Syndrome and Rapid Aging Syndrome.  The most famous person who is EHS is Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland , the former Prime Minister of Norway and former Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).   Millions of people throughout the world are likely affected yet most do not realize that microwave radiation and electrical pollution are the cause of their symptoms.  EHS is analogous to an allergy and once the body becomes sensitized to sources of EMF pollution, the only known treatment is to significantly reduce exposure. This can have a dramatic impact on one’s life, with some electro-sensitive people giving up their career, their home, social networks and sometimes even their family because it is difficult to live in our modern environment that is now filled with electrical pollution and microwave radiation.  EHS numbers are rapidly increasing with the exponential rise in EMF pollution in our homes and communities.  There have been many suicides around the world related to severe cases of EHS.  Thus, the condition can have devastating effects on individuals and families.  Tens of millions of people will be affected unless society begins to listen to these canaries in the coal mine and implement solutions;” 13   and

WHEREAS, many regions of the world are way ahead of the United States in diagnosis and treatments of EHS, such as the Austrian Medical Association Guidelines For Diagnosing and Treating Patients With Electrohypersensitivity (2012) 14
http://www.emfanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Overloading-Towns-and-Cities-with-Cellular-Transmitters.pdf

WHEREAS, the biological damage from microwave radiation is cumulative to the point where the body can no longer tolerate these exposures; mandatory exposure of our children in classrooms all day for their school career will greatly accelerate EHS, severely limiting their future college and career options, all without their informed consent; and

WHEREAS, U.S.  Air Force, Radiofrequency/Microwave Radiation Biological Effects and Safety Standards:  A Review concluded that RF exposure at the frequency and power levels utilized by these devices caused perturbations in the higher functioning centers of the Central Nervous System; measured RF power levels and frequency of the wireless system deployed in the Troy High School office were shown to sharply increase the heart rates of animals in the study; and

WHEREAS, wireless radiation is being removed/banned around the world, starting in environments dedicated to the youngest; in 2015, France passed legislation banning Wi-Fi in daycare for age 3 and under, wireless access in elementary schools must be disabled when not in use for learning 15; the State of Israel has banned wireless in Kindergarten, restricting hours of use in schools 16; the Italian State of Tyrol is calling for limiting wireless in schools and will begin an education campaign that informs the public on possible health risks; schools in the U.S. have been removing wireless technology, replacing it with wired connections and has begun to limit use of wireless because it is a health hazard; 17  18 and

WHEREAS, the following experts and organizations, in letters to Los Angeles Unified School District, implored LAUSD to use wired connections in schools due to adverse health impacts:  19
Note:  This list does not include all appeals to LAUSD.

Cindy Sage, MA, Sage Associates, Co-Editor, BioInitiative Report

WHEREAS, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) emission guidelines ar Captured Agency, a report published in June 2015 by Norm Alster and the Harvard University Center for Ethics;20 the science is corrupted by corporate money as per data compiled by Dr.  Henry Lai, University of Washington; 21 Motorola has “war-gamed” the science since 1994; 22 wireless industry attempts to suppress DNA damage research, as explained by scientist Dr.  Phillips;23 comparison of FCC guidelines with other countries and biological impacts;24  and

WHEREAS, children are becoming Electro Hypersensitive from the wireless radiation in school and lawsuits are being filed on their behalf; 25  and

WHEREAS, teachers are becoming Electro Hypersensitive from the wireless radiation in school at Los Angeles Unified School District and elsewhere and reasonable accommodations are being made so that they may teach in a classroom without radiation; 26and

WHEREAS, in 2001, the California State PTA passed a resolution on wireless that reads (in part) as follows:  “RESOLVED that the California PTA supports encouraging schools to use cable lines for all communications services on campus and to avoid the endorsement, purchase or use of wireless local area network systems on campus; and be it further RESOLVED that the California PTA recommend that teachers and students should limit use of cellular phones or other mobile devices on school property to emergencies.”; the Resolution’s narrative reads as follows:  “Until basic questions about the health
and safety of wireless devices and transmitting antennas are addressed by U.S. public health policymakers, we advise precaution. We all want to provide our children with a bright future. We do not want to later learn we acted without enough information and had neglected our children by treating them like guinea pigs in a giant biological experiment;”  and

WHEREAS, Section 4.5.64 Safe School Environments of the California State PTA is as follows:  “The California State PTA believes that every child is entitled to a safe and peaceful school environment that is orderly and empowering.  It is a place in which students and staff are free to learn and teach without the threat of physical and psychological harm.”
“The California State PTA believes that the four essential components that comprise a safe and peaceful school environment are: . . . , the physical setting and conditions in which education takes place.”   Subjecting Troy students and staff to this health hazard is in complete opposition to the California State PTA Section 4.5.64; and

WHEREAS, the California State Constitution, Article 1, Section 28(c) provides the Right to Safe Schools:  “All students and staff of public primary, elementary, junior and senior high schools have the inalienable right to attend campuses which are safe, secure and peaceful”; Troy high school, with active financial support of Troy PTSA, is subjecting their students, teachers, and staff to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, currently IARC classified as a Class 2B carcinogen and which emerging science demonstrates is a Class 1, known carcinogen, can hardly be considered to be a “safe” school; and

WHEREAS, no insurance company will offer insurance for claims made for injury or death from wireless devices; and

WHEREAS, wired Internet connectivity does not carry the health hazards of wireless, is a faster, more reliable and secure connection and provides a suitable alternative; and

WHEREAS, the Parent Teachers’ Association statement:  “The PTA is the largest volunteer advocacy association working exclusively on behalf of all children.  For more than 100 years, we’ve promoted the education, health and safety of children, youth and families”; by extension, this necessitates that RF-radiation emitting technology, a health hazard, not be in our children’s, teachers’, and staff school environment; and

WHEREAS, Troy PTSA, in fundraising for wireless devices, is soliciting/accepting donations to purchase wireless technology from those families, communities, entities that are ignorant of the studies, lawsuits, legislative actions to remove wireless, and are unknowingly contributing to the installation of technology that is a health hazard to their own children, staff and teachers; and

WHEREAS, and in acknowledgement of the CMA Resolution, citing the following learning impairments from RF-radiation:  “cognitive processing effects, stress protein synthesis in the brain, altered brain development, sleep and memory disturbances”; studies continue to be published substantiating these detrimental affects on learning; Troy students’ academic performance will likely be impaired and the very reason they have chosen to attend Troy High School, a known and superior learning institution, will be greatly challenged and compromised; and

WHEREAS, parents, teachers, and adult students are uninformed of these preceding facts on wireless radiation, their human rights are being violated by mandatory microwave radiation exposure at Troy High School; and

WHEREAS, parents who are knowledgeable on the health hazards of microwave radiation will be forced to withdraw their child from Troy High School, access to a healthy, safe school environment will be denied; and

WHEREAS, Troy High School students’ health, well being, and futures must never be yielded to other interests; and

WHEREAS, children and teachers have the right to a safe and healthy school environment, and Troy PTSA has a legal, ethical, moral obligation to support that right; and

WHEREAS, Troy PTSA by funding wireless devices is creating a school environment that makes mandatory the exposure to microwave radiation in order to attend Troy High School; and

WHEREAS, Troy PTSA by funding wireless devices is creating potential legal liability for Fullerton Joint Union High School District (FJUHSD) as lawsuits in the U.S. and around the world are being filed for injury and death; and

WHEREAS, the 200+ scientists in their Appeal to the United Nations and the World Health Organization have declared our exposures to wireless radiation an emerging public health crises, this necessitates that our children, teachers, and staff not be exposed to RF-Radiation emissions at Troy High School.

___________________________________

The following demands are, hereby, made of Troy High School PTSA:

1.     Uphold California State PTA, Section 4.5.64 Safe School Environments; uphold the California State Constitution, Article1, Section 28(c); and

2.     As would be expected of an organization dedicated to the education of students at Troy High School, fully acknowledge, disclose, and respond in accordance to the following facts on microwave radiation exposure:  200 international scientists and engineers have described this as “an emerging public health crisis”; thousands of scientific studies have demonstrated this as a significant, potentially profound, health hazard; legislation passed worldwide on RF-radiation exposures to protect the public and starting with the youngest; lawsuits filed on behalf of victims/survivors; refusal of insurance companies to cover injury/death from exposures; students and teachers becoming sick in wireless classrooms, corruption within the FCC that precludes responsible public health policy denying basic human rights; and

3.     Hardwire all wireless Chromebooks that have been purchased with Troy PTSA funds; and

4.     Immediately withdraw all support, financial and non-financial, of wireless devices and routers; promptly call for the removal of wireless radiation from our children and teachers’ school environment.  Support only wired technology, which does not carry the health harms of wireless radiation; and

5.     Work to fund an education and awareness campaign for students, parents and teachers, educating them on the health affects from wireless radiation, recognizing that those students that utilize these devices deserve to know the least hazardous way of handling wireless technology.  Include in this curriculum the symptoms of microwave sickness, Electrosensitivity (ES), Electrohypersensitivity (EHS); and

6.     Work to support education for staff and teachers, advising them of the science contained in media, websites such as The BabySafe Project, an on-line resource headed by Dr. Hugh Taylor, Professor and Chairman, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University, in which he advises pregnant women to avoid RF-radiation exposures, as the science demonstrates ties to ADD, ADHD, and Autism from exposure to wireless radiation during pregnancy.  Those employees that are pregnant or intend to become pregnant will be appreciative of this information.

Sincerely,

Mr.  Joseph Imbriano

    Science for Sale by David Lewis: recommended reading

    February 4, 2016 in -Mailing List, America’s revolving door between govt. Agencies and corporate America, Book reviews/new books of interest, Corporate influence on Science, government and the military by EMFacts
    Following a similar vein as the last blog message,”Report from the Science and Wireless 2015 event in Australia” the 2014 book, Science For Sale by David Lewis PhD is relevant reading. The sub title is:

    How the US government uses powerful corporations and leading universities to support government policies, silence top scientists, jeopardize our health, and protect corporate profits.

    However the title would be just as accurate if it alternatively read: ‘How powerful US corporations use the government’, etc – considering the “revolving door” between corporate America and the government where govt. agencies are effectively given over to corporate control in exchange for large election donations. If it was in a 3rd World country it would be condemned as outright corruption. In the USA however, its just accepted as business as usual.

    In 2015, former president, Jimmy Carter expressed concerns over widespread corporate influence over the American government, which he saw as an Oligarchy. To quote:

    Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger.

    So, now to Science For Sale:

    From the fly leaf:

    When Speaker Newt Gingrich greeted Dr. David Lewis in his office overlooking the National Mall, he looked at Dr. Lewis and said: “You know you’re going to be fired for this, don’t you?” “I know,” Dr. Lewis replied, “I just hope to stay out of prison.” Gingrich had just read Dr. Lewis’s commentary in Nature, titled “EPA Science: Casualty of Election Politics.” Three years later, and thirty years after Dr. Lewis began working at EPA, he was back in Washington to receive a Science Achievement Award from Administrator Carol Browner for his second article in Nature. By then, EPA had transferred Dr. Lewis to the University of Georgia to await termination—the Agency’s only scientist to ever be lead author on papers published in Nature and Lancet.

    The government hires scientists to support its policies; industry hires them to support its business; and universities hire them to bring in grants that are handed out to support government policies and industry practices. Organizations dealing with scientific integrity are designed only to weed out those who commit fraud behind the backs of the institutions where they work. The greatest threat of all is the purposeful corruption of the scientific enterprise by the institutions themselves. The science they create is often only an illusion, designed to deceive; and the scientists they destroy to protect that illusion are often our best. This book is about both, beginning with Dr. Lewis’s experience, and ending with the story of Dr. Andrew Wakefield.

    Review by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.:

    “David Lewis has been a beacon of integrity against the apocalyptical forces of ignorance and greed endeavoring to divert science from the noble pursuit of truth and pervert it into a tool that supports the most destructive policies of industry and government.”
