"The fundamental premise of Wi-Fi-free Wednesday is for parents to be able to choose to give their children a mid-week 'body break' from the harmful biophysical and biochemical effects of Wi-Fi radiation that is now ever-present in Ontario schools by keeping them home from school on Wednesdays . . .

"When children are in a learning environment with chronic Wi-Fi radiation this could create an 'acquired environmental learning disability.' For instance, scientific studies have shown that school children who are exposed to radio frequency radiation at levels that are 1000 times less than what Health Canada allows (at 1000 microW/cm2) have motor function, memory and attention deficits (0.16 microW/cm2 - Kolodynski 1996). And, at exposures that are 10,000 times less than what Health Canada says is safe, headaches, concentration and sleeping problems develop. . . . Therefore, when school children are in learning environments with chronic radio frequency radiation, this could in fact disadvantage them and perhaps even prevent them from attaining the best education possible, especially if the child already has a pre-existing learning challenge such as ADHD or autism . . .

"Once parents begin to understand that their child could be 'disadvantaged' in a chronic Wi-Fi school environment due to decreased focus and concentration, increased hyperactivity, loss of motor function, memory and attention deficits, slowed visual reaction time, lower memory function in tests, 18% reduction of REM sleep necessary for memory and learning, fatigue and changes in the hippocampus of the brain which is responsible for the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, they will consider the choice of Wi-Fi-free Wednesday as practical . . ."
