HEALTHY CLASSROOMS ARE WI-FI FREE!

 





HEALTHY CLASSROOMS ARE Wi-Fi FREE! 

Our children, teachers, and staff deserve safe and health technology. Wi-Fi networks and cell phones create high density wireless radiofrequency exposures in classrooms. Research has found radiofrequency radiation associated with cancer, brain damage, headaches, memory problems and damage to the reproductive system.
