LAUSD's Big Mistake Updated
In case you missed it, below are relevant video excerpts from the L.A. Unified School District meeting when the use wireless technologies in schools was discussed and voted on. First, some background.
The LAUSD is the largest school district in California and one of the largest in the world. During the 2011-2012 school year, LAUSD served 662,140 students, and had 45,473 teachers and 38,494 other employees and is the second largest employer in Los Angeles county. The wireless industries were watching what was decided.
The issue was whether or not to spend 50 million dollars to begin a $500 million project on wi-fi and computer tablets that only operate wirelessly.
This is part of the 'common core technology plan' that purports to eradicate the 'digital divide' and bring schools up to date.
The Board, in its wisdom, voted in favor of irradiating students, staff and employees in the interest of better education.
Southern California activists made an heroic effort to solicit letters from experts warning of the dangers to the children and staff.
