Is WiFi Harmful to Children?
There are many things that are harmful to children—poverty and war come to mind. There's also superstition and ignorance.
Believe it or not, there are many parents who think that electromagnetic radiation from WiFi transmitters is harming their children. They want it removed from schools because their children are becoming sick when they are at school.
Steve Thoms at Skeptic North has a post on this issue [Why, Wifi? Why?]. He explains why some people believe stupid things and how they go about defending those beliefs in a scientific society. He also raises questions about the "evidence" of illness caused by WiFi.
Worth reading—especially for the students in my course.
