A FEW TOOLS RIGHT OUT OF THE FSD’S AND PLETKA’S TOOL CHEST
These folks are just a few of the cast of characters that for almost 3 years, have ignored EVERY WARNING ON THE DANGERS THAT WIRELESS RADIATION IN THE CLASSROOM POSES TO THE CHILDREN.

Expert Docs Urge U.S. Secretary of Education: Play it Safe With Kids—Go Wired Not WiFi
Top medical experts advise schools to stop experimenting on our children. WiFi in Schools is Risky Business that has never been evaluated for safety.
Leading expert scientists and doctors who are advisors of the Environmental Health Trust (EHT) have sent an open letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and incoming acting Secretary John King detailing children’s unique vulnerability to the health risks of wireless technology. The scientists outline specific steps the U.S. Department of Education can take to safeguard children’s health in the 21st century, such as choosing safe corded (non-wireless) technology and creating a national education program for students. The scientists applaud the fact that such efforts are already well implemented in several schools and countries and call on the United States to take a leadership role.
The letter cites how over 20 countries have taken a precautionary approach to the issue of wireless and are educating citizens on how to reduce exposures with many recommending against wireless in schools. Early in 2015, France passed a national law banning wifi from nursery schools and mandating that schools turn off wifi whenever it is not in use, and Israel has established a new national institute to review scientific evidence and recommends wired computers for teachers. In the United States, both public and private schools are taking steps to reduce and remove wireless exposures. EHT maintains an updated list of these policy actions.
In 2013, the American Academy of Pediatrics wrote to the FCC calling for more protective wireless RF-EMF radiation exposure standards and stated, “Children are not little adults and are disproportionately impacted by all environmental exposures, including cellphone radiation. Current FCC standards do not account for the unique vulnerability and use patterns specific to pregnant women and children.”
“Considering that no research documents long-term exposure to low-intensity microwave radiation as safe for children, the best approach is precautionary.” The letter references the accumulated scientific research showing that wireless radiation, also known as radio-frequency (RF) radiation or microwave radiation, could increase cancer risk and has been shown to damage the reproductive system and alter neurological development.
The letter cites the research of Yale Professor Dr. Hugh Taylor that showed prenatal exposure resulted in decreased memory and hyperactivity in offspring. This study joins a growing list of experimental research showing neurotoxic effects which has informed the BabySafe Project of over 100 physicians who recommend reduced wireless exposures for pregnant women in order to mitigate the risk of fetal brain damage.
Professor Martha Herbert, MD PhD, a Harvard pediatric neurologist, is quoted: “RF radiation from wifi and cell towers can exert a disorganizing effect on the ability to learn and remember, and can also be destabilizing to immune and metabolic function.”
The scientists made the following recommendations to the U.S. Department of Education:
1. Raise school community awareness through new educational curriculum:Students, teachers, and their families should be given information on wireless health risks and simple precautionary steps they can take to protect their health. It is important to teach children how to use technology both safely and more responsibly in order to protect their health and wellbeing.
2. Install a safe communication and information technology infrastructure in schools to meet educational needs: Solutions exist to reduce exposures to wireless emissions and mitigate the health risk. Low-EMF Best Practices have been developed allowing educational needs to be met with safer hard-wired Internet connections, which are also faster and more secure.
“A 21st century classroom must bridge the digital divide in the safest way possible. The United States of America can thoughtfully integrate safe technology into every classroom while safeguarding the health of generations to come by installing safe and secure wired internet connections.” stated Dr. Davis, President of the EHT and Visiting Professor, The Hebrew University Medical School.

In fall 2014, the EHT wrote to several educational organizations—including the National Education Association, the National Association of Independent Schools and the National Parent Teacher Association—informing them of the health risks of wireless installations. Letters are available on the EHT Schools and Safe Technology webpage.
This new letter calls on the U.S. Department of Education to provide leadership on common sense technology steps to safeguard children’s health just as classrooms across the country are upgrading their technology systems. EHT applauds the Collaborative for High Performance Schools Low EMF criteria which provides the detailed steps schools can take to reduce EMF exposures.
Scientists have long been cautioning against wireless networks in schools and, most recently, new letters from scientists to a Massachusetts school were included in a federal complaint filed by parents alleging the school’s upgraded wireless network made their child ill.
In 2014, an independent group of 29 international expert scientists of the Bioinitiative Report wrote a letter to the CEOs of wireless technology education companies such as Google, Dell, Apple, Adobe and Facebook stating that, “It does not reflect well on the ethics of your corporations to encourage the FCC to provide $2 billion dollars for new wireless classroom infrastructure and devices for school children, knowing that wireless emissions have been classified as a Possible Human Carcinogen by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (2011). To promote wireless technologies in schools is to deliberately and knowingly disregard current health warnings from international science and public health experts.” These scientists have long made clear recommendations for Low-EMF Best Practices in schools based on the published scientific research.
Recently, a group of over 200 scientists (who have collectively published over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers on non-ionizing radiation)appealed to the United Nations for immediate action on this issue in order to protect public health and the environment.
Over 20 countries now take a precautionary stance towards wireless radiation. As an example, former Microsoft President Frank Clegg heads a safe technology organization C4ST calling on federal election candidates in Canada to develop an awareness campaign related to the safe use of information and communication technologies in schools after the Canadian Parliamentary Health Committee unanimously voted for 12 recommendations concerning wireless radiation and public health.

Hilda Sugarman is a member of Project inkwell. She is the one with the creepy connections in my opinion. Her bankster son is an honorary co chair of the upcoming booze auction over at the Arboretum to raise more money to continue to irradiate the FSD inmates.
According to the FSD’s own website, she is a member of Project Inkwell. http://www.fullertonsd.org/member/hilda-sugarman/#gsc.tab=0
Here is an excerpt from “Project Inkwell’s” The AORTA1 Digital Education Manifesto-http://www.projectinkwell.org/manifesto.php
“Provide adequate bandwidth and Internet access to all schools, calculated on a per – student basis. The last, in-class distribution of this bandwidth must be WIRELESS.”
Here is a comment she made in the OC Register
“My vision: Every single child will have one 24/7,” Sugarman said about iPad use.

Let her know how you feel about what her obsession with harming children with wireless is. hilda_sugarman@fullertonsd.org
Send her this article https://thefullertoninformer.com/apple-666-project-inkwell-and-agenda-21-an-expose-with-an-all-star-cast/
This woman needs to be removed from her office immediately.

24/7 iPads -I am sure she didn’t mean that and was speaking figuratively. She is proud of the levels of achievement the district has attained during her tenure. Stop being so critical of success just because you are a nobody and nobody listens to your crazy conspiracy theories.

” . . . sure she didn’t mean that . . .” ?????
baloney she didn’t mean that. Those school kids are being microwaved every school day. This woman is depraved. Success? Yes, if you define success as exposing children to “an emerging public health crisis” then, yes. Any ‘success’ she may have obtained for FSD has been totally obliterated by her microwaving the very students she is supposed to be taking care of in her role as trustee.
She is getting away with it too. There is no punishment too good for Sugarman.
Why do you hate the Fullerton school children??? Is this not real to you? You are an idiot and as creepy as Hilda Sugarman.

This was all already analyzed and fought when they tried to buy their own council after the Kelly incident. Your city leaders pay and retirement is in line with all of California. They tried to say it was a big scam and only Fullerton, but in the end common sense prevails and you hire and pay people what they could get anywhere else. Fullerton will never be a ghetto city that pays their leaders, police, fire, and workers ghetto wages.
#10 by Reality Is Delusional on October 24, 2015 - 9:21 am
According to the state of California…
the AVERAGE wage for a city employee in Fullerton is over $72,000.000 per year or $6,000.00 a month.
the average wage for a city resident that pays the wage of that city employee is $48,000 per year, or $4,000.00 per month.
Does that help clear the fog?
