has anyone out there been brave enough to challenge the use of wireless technology in their child's primary school ?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

There is an increasing body of scientific evidence that emf radiation from wifi (as well as from mobile phones and many other sources) is a health risk and can affect the dna in human cells .Children are particularly at risk .France has banned the use of wifi in nurseries and of
mobile phones in schools i think

If you are going to challenge it don't worry about the wifi its the 5G thats coming next that is even more harmful. Most public places have wifi though so its hard to avoid

Do you have WiFi at home or have you got rid of that as you are so worried about the perceived danger?

No there isn't. There is 0 evidence because it's impossible. Radio waves are the wrong frequency by a huge margin.

Do you have a link to some peer reviewed research on the topic?

*Do you have a link to some peer reviewed research on the topic?"

Of course not. It's like suggesting cheese causes flu because they both have microbes in- it's just silly to anyone with a basic grasp of science.

How far away from your child are you situated when writing this post?

So that’s a no then.

Honestly your school will listen to you politely and write you off as a bit bonkers privately. Schools will by be getting rid of WiFi. So many of their resources now are E based, they couldn't afford to turn it off.
If you feel strongly I'd get it cut off at home first and start there

Honestly, how can you get rid of it totally even if you wanted too? Everywhere you go, they have wifi these days, not just school.
And you are using internet as well. Double standard?
