Banning Wi-Fi From Schools

Happened in the UK, the same parents also overturned a ban on kids having cell phones.

Apparently it's vital for their safety that they keep a 1W 1.8Ghz transmitter glued to their head at all times, but it's lethal to have a 100mW 2.4Ghz transmitter in another room.

Not to mention all the 10-100 W 400-800 THz transmitters they have in all the rooms. Worryingly, there are two structures in children's skulls, near the brain, that are particularly sensitive to these frequencies!

And I expect the average child emits more electromagnetic radiation than a wifi transmitter. Children should obviously be banned from schools then.

To what Thz transmitters are you referring?

GP probably means high-bandwidth ones like these:

Yes, although in UK schools they tend to be the ones more like this: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LAFL16.html
