Just about everything in this election can be summarized as pure and simple boil over from The Fullerton School District’s technology plan that is at COMPLETE ODDS WITH The Fullerton Joint Union High School District. THE CANDIDATES JUST WON’T PUBLICLY TALK ABOUT IT.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE KIDS? YEAH RIGHT!
You see folks, under the direction Robert Pletka with the support of the board members Beverly Berryman, Hilda Sugarman, Chris Thompson, Janny Meyer, and Lynne Thornly, now almost every last one of the 15,000 children in Fullerton’s Elementary schools are being forcibly exposed to wireless radiation all day long and are being forced to use a wireless iPad or wireless laptop at school. The district refuses to provide an education without a wireless environment.
In the Fullerton Joint Union High School District which encompasses Fullerton, Buena Park and La Habra, under the direction of George Giokaris with the governing board members, the 14,000 students are using textbooks in a classical setting with no wireless exposure. The board decided to hard wire all of the Common Core computer labs throughout the entire district. Now even that is being reconsidered and wireless looms even as the Troy High School technology director Jesse Knowles himself recovers from a brain tumor.
So what we are left with is this so called infamous technology GAP between the elementary schools and the high schools. Let’s have a closer look at this gap.
K-8 students are constantly staring into screens and being forcibly exposed to microwave emission levels that are trillions of times background levels at school.
This has also bled over into the homes forcing families to install WiFi systems in their homes and apartments so the children can do their homework. This has also bled over into the infant care and after school daycare facilities so the children can do their homework there. It is really so they can play video games now instead of going outside to play.
Bandwidth is always an issue demanding the deployment of more and more wireless access points and even new technologies increasing the classroom exposure.
It is worth noting that EVERY CLASSROOM IN THE FULLERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIVITY TO THE WALLS and yet they have chosen wireless as the end connection ignoring research and warnings of scientists and medical doctors.
http://wifiinschools.com/lausd-testimony.html
There is no opt out provision in any of this. In addition, these radiation levels are not low power as levels that are trillions of times background levels, they are not healthy, and not natural period.
Lets look at the High schools where students are currently carrying textbooks and attending classes that do not have WiFi systems deployed in them. They utilize state of the art hardwired computers when needed. They can then go home and choose what form of computers they use, with the connectivity they desire, wired or not. There is no need for an opt out provision as there is no forced microwave exposure.
I believe there is egg on the faces of the FSD board members, their staunch supporters and mud all over Robert Pletka’s wth the FJUHSD deciding to hardwire all of their campuses and abruptly halt the plans for wireless deployment based on safety concerns.
The tensions between these groups is tremendous. While it may not be evident to the public at large, I firmly believe that it is THE DRIVING FORCE IN THE ELECTION for the three governing board positions.
The players in the FSD are, in my opinion, in large part responsible for riffs that are emerging with the city hall crowd as well. It is all connected in my opinion, and you can trace it all back to them.
It would not surprise me if there were plans to do away with the High School Board and bring everything under FSD control perhaps even doing away with the FJUHSD administration altogether.
It all boils down to the following: THE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO IRRADIATE YOUR KIDS.
The following statement has been prepared by Diane Hickey, co founder of NACST.ORG and has been sent to all of the candidates. We will post their responses as they come in.
To: Fullerton Joint Union High School Board Candidates
Marilyn Buchi, Joanne Fawley, Zina Gleason, Bob Hathaway, MJ Noor*, Robert Singer, Ph.D. (*sent via candidate portal)
All Fullerton Joint Union High School District candidates for trustee should be keenly aware of the following, recently released messages regarding wireless radiation in our children’s classrooms. They all have the same message: hardwire the school technology.
University of California, Berkeley, Center for Community and Family Health, “Some Tips To Reduce Your Exposure to Wireless Radiation”
Among these are:
“Turn off wi-fi on devices being used by kids”
“ . . . use hardwired networks in schools to provide Internet access.”
The link is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B14R6QNkmaXuT1o0aDhWRERmYlE/edit?pli=1
Doctors For Safer Schools
“We ask School Boards, educators and parents to realize existing standards fail to protect students and staff. We call upon governments to update their safety standards and make them relevant to non-thermal exposures, including WiFi.”
The link is here: http://doctorsforsaferschools.org/2014.Doctors.for.Safer.Schools.pdf
This website is of particular interest to pregnant teachers that are working every day in wireless classrooms. It features Dr. Hugh Taylor, Chief of Obstetrics, Yale University Hospital, discussing the scientific studies that demonstrate exposures to wireless radiation results in degradation of memory and learning, most notably ADHD: The BabySafe Project: “Protect Your Baby from Wireless Radiation”
http://www.babysafeproject.org
The messages coming out could not be plainer or more insistent: hardwire the school technology. The Fullerton School District (K-8) trustees were provided the first and third items in July. For over a year and a half, the FSD has been presented with information on the dangers of wireless classrooms.
You should also be aware that in 2012 an Italian court ruled that wireless radiation emitted from cell phones can cause brain tumors.
Italian Court Ruling is here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/9619514/Mobile-phones-can-cause-brain-tumours-court-rules..html
When we examine product liability on cell phones, “The insurance industry has refused to provide product liability insurance on cell phones primarily due to this concern as they fear that cell phone litigation may turn out like tobacco or asbestos litigation did with huge punitive awards.”
That link is here: http://www.saferemr.com/2014/08/major-breakthrough-in-cellphone.html
As an FJUHSD school board member, please consider Sections IV and V in the Orange County Department of Education, Liability Under Section 1983. This document addresses personal liability exposure for school board trustees.
That link is here: http://www.ocde.us/LegalServices/Documents/LIABILITY_UNDER_SECTION_1983_wcopyright.pdf
These messages stand on their own. They must translate into a wired technology program, one that does not carry the serious health detriments of wireless and is known to be a secure and reliable connection.
Sincerely,
Diane Hickey, Co-Founder
National Association For Children and Safe Technology

Chris Thompson I believe MJ Noor has snowed a number of Republicans Deborah. Her performance at several forums and events has shown her to be somebody that has nearly no knowledge of District finances (not her opinions, she literally just doesn’t know the basics). She will actually hurt the cause of checking union power, and will damage the reputation of those of us who credibly seek to reform education in Fullerton. She claims the reform mantle and yet cannot speak intelligently to it. She simply offends and puts off everyone around her without deriving any benefit for the effort. Zina Gleason is a far better choice, and as the only legitimately small government, 3 time unanimous OCGOP endorsee in school governance in Fullerton, I would recommend bullet voting for only Zina Gleason in the hope of putting at least one reform candidate on the high school board. One person that understands the damage wrought on children and taxpayers by CTA control.

Susie Shuff Gapinski Chris, is there a way a person can learn the intricacies of district finances? If you go to a board meeting I feel you only get a small snippit. Sometimes trustees go to public meetings and give updates telling how wonderfully the district has managed the finances, but a board meeting gives a different picture. I would love to learn the basics. I am not a candidate, but I understand the damages wrought on children by many factors, including the CTA. I am aware that this information is “public” but sometimes it is difficult to know where to begin. I am being sincere in my request.

Chris Thompson Joe, it would take all of 10 minutes in a one or one to expose MJ for the complete and utter absence of knowledge about public education issues that you support. But I do appreciate that she chose the right issues to claim to support. If one claims to believe that the budget was poorly executed, one should minimally be able to approximate the top line total budget. If one claims to hate common core, one should be able to give you a competent sentence on its issues. I believe she chose her issues based upon capturing conservative support. She chose well. The problem comes upon the 6th or 8th word coming out of her mouth as she attempts to explain her views. However, reasonable people can disagree. I believe that she will even damage the causes which are most near and dear to you.

Susie Shuff Gapinski So, every single one of these people has been hoodwinked by someone who can’t speak intelligently? I see some prominent local names on that list and you have basically accused them of not being savvy enough to properly endorse for a local election. I have not made my decision, but you need to produce something more than accusing all of Noor’s endorsers of being fooled by her. You wear the OCGOP endorsement as a badge of honor, but not for Noor? Why go for any prominent endorsements if they mean nothing? If all of these people are too uninformed to make an intelligent endorsement then God help us, and I may have to find a new rheumatologist.

Zonya Townsend Chris, I’m really disappointed you have stooped down to continually tearing MJ down. Your time, energy and effort is better spent focusing on your candidate and putting fresh voices on the board. The 3 incumbents together have been there over a century. MJ supporters don’t say anything negative about Zina. We accept and respect her for who she is. Remember that as Republicans we aspire to higher standards, attack the issue not the person. MJ is the right candidate for this position- remember there is more than one seat open.

Chris Thompson I’m not attacking the person Zonya. I don’t have a personal relationship with MJ one way or the other. I have made no disparaging remark about her character or personal history. Deborah Pauley is a very savvy political person, who, I am quite confident would not support MJ if she spent any time actually investigating her knowledge of the issues. I can assure you, my interest is in seeing a board which will actually stand up to the prodigious union power which exists within the FJUHSD. I do not believe that MJ will contribute to that end. It’s my opinion and a friend of mine in Deborah Pauley put up a supportive comment based solely on MJ’s endorsments, which I believe to be misguided. As a 3 time unanimous endorsee of the OCGOP, 2 times of the CRA and 3 times by Ed Royce, I think that I am well within my rights to make that statement. I wanted to let Deborah know what my opinion was. My history with Deborah and other voters will stand or it will not. Truth be told Zonya, I am little disappointed that you are characterizing what I did here as stooping to anything.
