Parents are asking an elementary school in Meaford, Ont., to shut down Wi-Fi internet access over health concerns despite authorities saying there is no scientific evidence that the technology is harmful.There is no word yet on whether the Saint Vincent Euphrasia Parent Council will be putting other so-called "science", like the Periodic Table, the Copernican Model, or the sphericity of the Earth, to a vote.
"After learning the whole story about how risky Wi-Fi is, parents voted to protect their children's health and plug the computers back in with hardwires," said Andrew Couper, a member of Saint Vincent Euphrasia Parent Council, in a statement issued Monday.
