It is truly a tale of two cities. Yes indeed folks, yes indeed and oceans apart. The Fullerton School District’s Board of Trustees, administrators, principals, teachers, staff and even most of the PTA groups and Foundations are all aware of what we are attempting to stop which is what we believe to be the extremely dangerous forced irradiation of our school children with pulse modulated high frequency microwave emissions to run these totally unnecessary wireless classrooms. My son, who is not using a microwave transmitter at this time as participation is OPTIONAL if you were not aware, tells me it seems like game day every day. All this just so the kids can play games on their Ipads? He finishes with pencil and paper far ahead of his classmates on problems and assignments. He said the other kids get to play games on their Ipads often and everyday. That is certainly what is going on at the Morningside afterschool day care since WiFi was installed recently as well at the behest of the parents ostensibly so the children can do their homework on the Ipads. Ask the staff. It is game day everyday over there now thanks to Mr. Pletka. His agenda has spilled over into the infant care centers now.
Well there was a time when my wife and I would walk in to the day care facility and see all the kids at the tables with their pencils in hand and their noses in their books doing their homework. Well at least the director has partially followed my advice by shutting off the WiFi until the kids get there in the afternoon sparing the infants, preschoolers and the kindergarten late birds the needless and dangerous RF exposure. Oh I forgot, it is all about the common core. You know even as of today, 6 months into this thing, still not one single solitary servile FSD employee has had the courage or decency to break rank and stand up for these kids. It is amazing what a paltry paycheck and a few bucks will do to peoples’ consciences. Ignoring thousands of peer reviewed scientific studies that show harmful effects and sicking an unqualified attack dog on us to obfuscate the issue is not what the children deserve.
So what gives with the folks across the Atlantic deeming 100 MILLION times less microwave radiation exposure as being the upper limit on safe exposure? What do they know that we don’t? Why are their Autism rates one third of the US? How could there be a 100,000,000 variation? THAT IS TOTALLY INSANE.
It can only amount to one of several possibilities. The first is that they know something that we don’t. It is also possible that our government knows something that they know but don’t want us to know, or lastly no one knows anything and they pulled the 10 to 8th power odds off of the back of a powerball ticket. Somewhere in the middle is the Bio Initiative report that the wireless industry and the academia bobble heads pick apart with their RF industry sharpened Pinocchio schnozes. Those folks are a bit more liberal than those from that far land across the sea at the center of culture and wealth at a recommendation of 30,000 times less exposure. Who are these folks? They are scientists. Who are folks at the Austrian Medical Association? They are doctors who happen to live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Who are the folks at the FCC? Well it is simply a regulatory agency. It is not a public health agency. They don’t have one single medical doctor on its entire payroll. So what do they give us? They give us EXPOSURE GUIDELINES 100 million times higher than the Austrians and to add insult to injury, they get themselves off the hook because the guidelines are NOT SAFETY STANDARDS.
How can something so important, be given to chance? How do we have people with Ed.D’s who demand to be called docktahs, people with MBA’s, and risk managers looking the other way while these disparities are glaring them in the face with me at the microphone every two weeks and me passing out fliers in the parking lots every chance they provide me a captive audience making crucial health decisions for 15,000 school children. These folks have appeared to demonstrate that they themselves don’t even understand these numbers by allowing the THE FSD’s RF report and press release to stand with what I believe to be preposterous readings and false and misleading statements of total safety. They just follow orders. If it is legal and the order comes down, they simply flip the switch. We are not getting what we pay for but we are certainly getting what we deserve if no one dares to speak up for these kids.
I firmly believe that these wildly varying numbers clearly show that the meaning of the FSD’s very own superintendent Robert Pletka’s claim that this is “totally safe for the children” is merely based on what I believe to be his extremely limited understanding of the issue, and a mere subjective interpretation of the facts. Ladies and gentlemen, that is simply a chance that none of us should be willing to take with our most valuable assets who happen to be our own children.

I have been told by several parents that Mr. Imbriano is fear mongering, making baseless claims, and forcing the school district to spend much needed precious dollars that could otherwise be spent in the classrooms on defending itself from his accusations.
You know what I think as a mom? I think he is on to something and for these parents, and you know who you are, to put dollars out in front ahead of the safety of the children is really sick. There is no other word to describe it. I have read the links and articles here. There is definitely something not right about what is going on.
My husband and I need to do more research but for now, I am turning off the WiFi in our home and taking away these tablets from our two sons. They are not worth it. My children are. You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

“much needed precious dollars that could otherwise be spent in the classrooms”? You mean those parents want the money to be spent on more ipads to irradiate our precious children. These uninformed and confused parents just believe everything Dr. Whisnant and Robert Pletka tell them. Those parents are such fools not even realizing what they are exposing their children to. So sad…

The major concern from my first hand dealings with Karen Whisnant is that she doesn’t even understand all the numbers. You would think that with this issue landing in her lap 6 months ago, staring her daily in the face, with the health of upwards of 800 children in her hands, she would spend some quality time as a public servant and expend some serious effort as a steward of the public trust on trying get a handle on the issue. From her comments when my wife and I were in room 20 at Acacia last Thursday taking RF readings in my son’s classroom, she offered up the fact that it is all a little over her head and doesn’t understand all the numbers.
As far as Robert Pletka goes, his press release says it all. The following comment from a parent summarizes his handle on the issue https://thefullertoninformer.com/april-fools-in-july-the-fsds-emf-rf-classroom-emissions-report/#comment-17926

I think the focus should be shifted off of Joe Imbriano and onto all the evidence. Anytime someone wants to talk about Mr. Imbriano, I talk about all the evidence and keep the discussion there. This is about the health of our children and the recognition that wireless radiation is harmful.
If the parents would just start to look at the information, I believe they will become convinced that they must act in the best interest of their children. At the same time, they will realize that those entrusted with the safety of their children are not worthy of that position. This is a very frightening realization.
I have made a lot of changes in our home, also. I have switched the phones from cordless to hard wired, had my computer hardwired, and changed the kids’ game controllers to hardwired.
You are correct, wireless technology in our schools is not worth risking our children’s health.

Jamie you are so right. It certainly seems as if they try to make it personal. From what I heard first hand, the mantra goes something like he is incorrect in his assertions.
There is so much information here and on other sites that whether he is incorrect or not makes no difference at all. I re read the press release again after spending some time reviewing the information here and there is no way anyone should say what Dr. Pletka said. He needs to change what he said. It is a false statement. My children attend Raymond and they are beginning to use these Ipads more and more. I don’t know where to start and what to do.

I would start by making your concerns know to the principal, the district officials and the school board.

If some say it is safe and others say it is not, who do we believe and why do we take the chance? It is our children for crying out loud. This is apalling.

When you say “all the evidence” you mean all the evidence that supports your opinion, right.
