U.S. schools are rapidly introducing new technology programs into their curriculum that require internet connectivity.  Schools are choosing wireless connections over hard wired connections.  Industrial sized routers are required to operate the multiple devices in use at one time. These routers and wireless devices emit microwave radiation which is linked to cancer, brain, and immune damage. 

ConnectED

ConnectED is a federal proposal to modernize the e-Rate program and create a wireless infrastructure in all schools across the country.  The federal government is promoting ConnectED to support  'Digital Learning'.

“We will not get rid of the Internet or computers.  We should not ignore, however, the enlarging body of science that points to real threats to public health and, especially, our children’s safety and well-being.  The best approach is precautionary.  Reduce the risk by reducing the microwave emissions.  It is our obligation as physicians and parents to protect our children.  They are the future and our legacy."
