Here is a letter from the F.S.D. to the Fullerton Informer site administrator:
The F.S.D. claims that the classroom microwave EMF emissions are legal. They also refuse to grant us access to film and record our own measurements. We at The Fullerton Informer believe that the microwave EMF emissions present in the classrooms, that the district claims are well below the FCC limits, are not safe. We, by the way, are not alone with respect to our position:

http://www.wifiinschools.com/lausd-testimony.html
The current FCC standards that the FSD is hiding behind are based on thermal (heating) effects of these microwave EMF emissions. The widely held view in the scientific community is with the dangers of the NON-THERMAL interactions and effects on children at the cellular and molecular level that have been clearly demonstrated in the medical literature to be real. Therefore, we believe that the FCC guidelines are woefully inadequate, antiquated and allow students to be subjected to, what we believe to be, dangerous levels of microwave EMF radiation in the classrooms as a result of the use of these WiFi enabled devices and the networks’ industrial strength routers that can potentially result in long term health effects. We believe that chronic exposure to these emissions is potentially very dangerous. Our position is to hard wire the technology in the classrooms as well as in your homes. By forcing the use of WiFi enabled tablets in the classroom, the Fullerton School District is then forcing the students and their families to operate and maintain a wireless environment in their homes so the students can do their homework on the wireless devices. Now even many of the after school day care facilities that serve the Fullerton students are considering installing wireless networks so that the students can do their homework on their tablets while in their custody before and after school. I believe that the willful ignorance of this information by the F.S.D, its Board of Trustees and its employees is not in the best interests of the students or even the community at large. The ramifications of their decisions have far reaching unintended consequences that we can no longer ignore.
This bears repeating, the wireless setting that the F.S.D. is forcing the existence of in the home, in the classrooms, and indirectly in day care facilities, is in our opinion, not safe for children, and especially for pregnant women or anyone else for that matter. The whole basis for this technology being safe is based on current FCC standards that completely IGNORE an entire realm of non-thermal physiological effects and the associated non-thermal mechanisms by which they take place. That is what we call uncharted territory folks. Most Fullerton students are there now and even more will be next year.
So all of the aforementioned begs the question.
We at the Fullerton Informer have been trying to get the Board’s and the administration’s attention on these potential dangers facing our children for months.
Why does it appear that the F.S.D just doesn’t get it?

Teachers,
How are you going to feel when your school district ramps up all the EMF radiation on the children and you, confined in these classrooms?
Do you know what mesothelioma is? You would never allow asbestos in your environment or around kids.
Have you read the letters: http://www.wifiinschools.com/lausd-testimony.html
Teachers, please read the letters. To allow and participate in this radiation experiment crosses all lines of decency. You are breaching the parent’s and public’s trust by not standing up for the kids. All for the sake of wireless technology. How absurd is that?
Think about why you are not standing up for the kids. Whatever the reason, it is not good enough. You must overcome whatever you are clinging to, as this will be your legacy. We were all born with a conscience; yours must be clear. It will be very difficult for you to live with yourself knowing that when you needed to stand up for the children, you could not muster the courage to do so.
How will you feel when your Kindergartners enter your classroom, with the wifi router over the doorway, emitting EMF radiation on the youngest of the school population. These little ones are counting on you to keep them safe. If you keep quiet, you will be causing harm. When the parents and grandparents come to pick up their children from school at the end of the day, how will you be able to look the parents in the eye, knowing that their child spent the day in your classroom? A classroom that MDs are saying is harmful? Can you live with that?
Finally, why are you a teacher if you cannot stand up and advocate for the children and yourself? Have you asked FSD why they are insisting on using WiFi technology in the schools when scientists and researchers are telling them not to? If you haven’t asked them, why not? Do you take their word that EMF radiation is OK over the MDs & Ph.Ds?
Teachers, don’t let cowardliness and silence be your legacy. This is your time to do the right thing.
