<p>October 30, 2019:&nbsp; The <a href="https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/school-life/mobile-phones-banned-at-wa-public-schools/news-story/9ca2e265e7dec8cfcb2381d007984928">Western Australian Government</a> announced a ban on technology during class time “to reduce issues brought into schools via technology.”&nbsp; </p>



<p>Restrictions have been set on cell phones, smart watches, ear buds and tablets at public schools “responding to concerns from parents and teachers about the pressures and demands that carrying a mobile phone brings to young people.”&nbsp; </p>



<p>Not only will the ban help with students distracted by wireless devices, but the ban will reduce Australian students’ exposure to proven harmful radio-frequency radiation which is emitted by all wireless technology including:&nbsp; cell phones, WiFi, tablets, Chrome books, smart boards, wireless headphones, wearables, home assistants, wireless baby monitors, cell towers, utility &#8220;smart&#8221; meters, 4G/5G-enabled “small” cell antennas, etc.&nbsp; </p>



<p>A step in the right direction, especially since so many of today’s youth complain of anxiety, depression, cyber-bullying, suicidal ideation, migraines, fatigue, dizziness, nosebleeds, concentration difficulties and more.<br> <br>It has been scientifically proven in <a href="http://www.wisconsinsafetech.com/science">1,000s of INDEPENDENT, peer-reviewed and published studies</a> that chronic exposure to wireless radiation is harmful biologically to humans and the environment.</p>



<h2><strong>Kansas Increases Students&#8217; Wireless Radiation Exposure</strong></h2>



<p>Meanwhile, back in the United States, <a href="https://www.kwch.com/content/news/100-of-Kansas-schools-now-meet-FCC-minimum-WIFI-guideline-563623921.html">Kansas schools</a> recently announced an INCREASE in Wi-Fi technology in public schools, which will exponentially increase the wireless radiation exposure in schools.&nbsp; “In the past four years, Kansas has spent 37.7-million dollars in federal funding to upgrade Wi-Fi networks.”</p>



<p>This is a foolish move because <a href="http://movingtolearn.ca/2018/wireless-radiation-is-not-safe-for-children-national-toxicology-program-findings-indicate-go-wired-campaign-urgently-required-to-protect-children">children
are more vulnerable to harm</a> from Wi-Fi and other wireless technology due to
their thinner skulls and developing brains and bodies. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Schools should go back to safe wired-only internet
connections.</p>



<h2>Parents:  Start the Conversation with Your School Districts</h2>



<p>If parents and teachers in the United States don’t speak up, nothing will change.  Wireless technology/<a href="https://wisconsinsafetech.com/2019/11/09/new-study-screen-time-hurting-childrens-brains-and-resources-for-parents/">screen time</a> is extremely addictive, especially to children.  Could schools be considered drug dealers since they encourage more and more screen time?  </p>
