A top UK watchdog has barked for an investigation into using wireless communication networks in schools.
According to the The Independent on Sunday, Sir William Stewart, the chairman of the Health Protection Agency, wants pupils to be monitored for ill effects from Wi-Fi.
Sir William is a former chief scientific adviser to the Government, and has chaired two official inquiries into the hazards of mobile phones.
He fears that Wi-Fi could cause cancer and premature senility. Several European provincial governments are banning or limiting Wi-Fi use in the classroom.
No studies have been carried out into Wi-Fi's effects on pupils, but it gives off radiation similar to emissions from mobile phones and phone masts.

Well, if this is true, then the router 15 feet away from me is pumping death into my body every second.

I love my airport... wireless internet is great. I'll probably kill my body with the tanning beds before the Wi-Fi hits me anyway...
EDIT: What is "premature senility"? Senility isn't a natural occurrence, so how can it occur prematurely???

I want to see an animated GIF where Kefka sets up wi-fi in the Imperial Base Camp instead of poisoning the river.

UPDATE:
THE RADIATION LEVELS emitted by Wi-Fi networks in some schools is three times as high as that emitted by the main beam of intensity from mobile phone masts, a Panorama investigation claimed tonight.
The BBC's Panorama team, which recently featured in a screaming match with scientologists on Youtube, has undertaken research which indicates that Wi-Fi technologies may be emitting harmfully high levels of radiation.
Although the radiation emitted by Wi-Fi networks is said to be similar to that from mobile phone masts, there have been no studies into the impact of such technology on our health, a report on the BBC website says.
Wi-Fi technology is currently being used in seven out of 10 British secondary schools and in half of all primary schools.
The findings are particularly significant because children's skulls, which are still developing, are thinner than adults' skulls, and tests have revealed they absorb more radiation than adults, it said.
Although the readings were well below the government's safety limits – as much as 600 times below – some scientists told the programme they believe current safety limits should be revised.
Both the government and World Health Organisation say that Wi-Fi does not fry bains.

All that radiation will only increase the rate of evolution. Just wait and see. Then we can persecute all those silly mutants.

There are only 10 secondary schools in Britain? Or is it a way to say universities?

7 out of 10 is just another way of saying 70%.

If it's true, then I'm developing cancer as we speak.
