Parents Sue To Stop School Wi-Fi

Parents in Oak Park, Illinois filed a class-action lawsuit against the local school district in order to prevent the district from using Wi-Fi wireless networking in the schools. The complaint alleges that the district “failed to adequately examine and assess the potential health risks that wireless LANs pose to humans, particularly children who are still growing,” “breached the duty of care they owe to the children” and “exposed the children to unreasonably dangerous health risks caused by constant exposure to high frequency electromagnetic radiation.” The plaintiffs “have collected more than 400 scientiic articles, commentaries and references outlining health risks from low intensity RF exposure.”
