You are "educators."   See article (link below) reporting restriction of hooded sweatshirts.   Rather than restrict the wearing of sensible, warm, "hoodies," why not call the students to your auditorium -- and include parents -- for a session on why it is imperative children as well as parents "limit overall cell phone use!"     There are numerous studies re dangers of cell phones (U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing re cell phones 9-13-09 thru 9-15-09), countless reports of students and teachers becoming sick due to wireless computer installations, and also thousands of studies re biological changes that occur -- positive and negative -- when humans as well as animals are subjected to close electric field exposures.

 

See recent study by Dr. Sam Milham:    http://omega.twoday.net/stories/5955736/

 

 

See also my 'response" (below story about restricting hoodies) which explains just some of the reasons why cell phones, i-Pods, i-Phones and more, should not be in close proximity to persons' bodies for hours at a time.   Electric items close to beds are also "major concern!"  

 

Perhaps your school might become the first in the Nation to conduct its' own "epidemiological survey" by assigning students "investigational projects" (under supervision of parents, community volunteers -- perhaps "Senior Citizens" --  that might help to begin to sort out numbers of persons adversely affected by electronics or appliances in close proximity to bodies, while at the same time, helping to identify and define potential harm from nearby cellular antennae and/or high voltage powerlines.    Simply disconnecting WiFi is reported to quickly produce positive results.

 

There are items that can be purchased that will help mitigate RF harm from cell phones.    See:   www.radiationrescue.org    for informatin regarding speakers, ear tubes, etc.

 

I would be pleased to assist in any educational investigation of EMF/EMR effects.   Feel free to call or email for more information.   There are many other important websites and countless study links.    My website provides additional insight as well as objective facts re our family's experiences:    www.guineapigsrus.org  .........

Kansas Schools Ban Hooded Sweatshirts

The new rule at two schools in Kansas is "no hoodies."

 

Cellphones are banned in the Renwick School district. The ban appears not to be enough, however, so two schools in the area decided to bar students from wearing hooded sweatshirts. Why? Because kids can hide their cellphones in the front pockets, secretly texting their buds without even looking at the keyboard.

 

Here is a video report from Eyewitness News 12 in Kansas  (click on above link to activate video)
 
:One student interviewed in the KWCH report said that she and her friends "could memorize our keyboards, because most of us have full keyboards." Leaving the phone on vibrate and keeping it hidden in the front pouch of a hoodie allowed them to communicate in secret. Pretty neat trick.

 

The two schools that have banned the offending outer garment are Andale Elementary and St. Mark's Charter School. Colwich Elementary allows sweatshirts with front pockets as long as they are sewn up.

 

If you think this sounds wacky, you're not alone. One parent told KWCH, "I think it's kind of stupid, but you've got to keep the distractions out of school." She has a first grader who does not own a cellphone, but he can't wear a hoodie, either.

 

Interestingly, this isn't a new idea. Lincoln Middle School in Meriden, Conn., banned hoodies back in 2007, but for a different reason. The school thought that kids would wear the hoods to hide headphones and listen to their tunes in class.

 

Maybe everyone should just listen to Kayleigh Clement, a sixth grader who told KWCH, "Kids shouldn't be that stupid to text during school."

 

Out of the mouths of babes...

 

What do you think? Are the Kansas schools over-reacting?

The hoodies are one of the best things to happen for years! Otherwise, kids run -- "literally run" from school to bus with nothing covering bare arms or heads even here in the middle of Minnesota in dead winter!

 

NO ONE should store a cell phone on his or her body whether a pants' pocket, a hoody or any type of jacket IF he or she wants to have a child.

 

NO ONE should store a cell phone, i-Pod, etc. close to his or her body for hours at a time if he or she does not want to develop cancer in tissues -- testes, ovaries, colon, bladder, prostrate, uterus, etc. or even heart problems if in shirt pocket.

 

NO ONE should sleep with any electric appliance, telephone equipment or item with speaker (magnet) even if not turned on.

 

Alzheimers, autism-spectrum disorders, brain tumors, asthma, Leukemia, sinus infections, ear infections, etc. etc. are increasing.

Dear Judy:    You may have the contact person needed to get the EMF/EMR education going in the schools, who knows?     One thing we know is not trying gets us no where.    I never look back even if I wonder how so many persons can just carry on with their day(s) without doing what they can to help bring about much- needed change.    I refer specifically to industry, government, media who promote "silence." 

 

A link to my website as well as brief commentary re my work is included in Dr. Crofton's book, "Radiation Rescue."    As you may know, Dr. Crofton is "a concerned mom" in addition being a psychologist, author and more.   So, you, of course, may mention obtaining her name through me.     Thanks for your continuing efforts to help!      Joanne

Joanne

 BRAVO !    on this article and referring people to K Crofton’s web site.  I am going to contact Dr. Crofton  would it be all right to mention that I got her name from you?   

 

As I may have told you in our conversation, my passion is educating parents, grandparents on taking steps to protect our children from EMF. I even contacted  the President of the California PTA , who knows there are issues but could not approach the problem at her level.   I am certainly going share this article with member of the PTA.  Keep these wonderful articles coming. I love them.

Judy

 

P. S. I just attended a Kids Faire and gave parents information on the dangers of EMF  some of them were like “deer in the headlights” they were so unaware of the problem.

To Whom It May Concern:

 

We have acknowledgement of need for "citizen action education" by leading EMF scientist, Prof. Olle Johansson from the renowned Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, speaking out as "a big brother to all."    Prof. Johansson has fought for many years by conducting hundreds of EMF studies (re close electric field exposures), travel and participation in a multitude of EMF/EMR-related scientific conferences,  interviews and more, to create awareness re harm being caused not only by close electric field exposures -- cell phones, i-Pods, i-Phones, appliances, etc.  --  but, also, representing many persons who report symptoms of electrosensitivy (ES/EHS) they link to wireless installations, cellular antennae and/or close high voltage power line exposures .

 

Below are just a few references re Prof. Johansson's invaluable work.   Note also very important, credible, hardwork by California authors,  Sage & Sage et al re BioInitiative as well as PDA study:  

Personal digital assistant (PDA) cell phone units produce elevated extremely-low frequency electromagnetic field emissions.  Sage C, Johansson O, Sage SA.

As I previously mentioned there are many  other EMF/EMR studies, videos, conference presentations and testimony by numerous credible scientists from around-the-world.    Let me know how I can help in order to help stem rapid increases in autism-like disorders and all sorts of other symptoms that are causally linked to chronic, prolonged electric field exposures.      Take care   -  Joanne
