Jill Stein Says Wi-Fi May Be Bad for Kids' Brains, Delights Local Man

"We make guinea pigs out of whole populations and then we discover how many die. And this is like the paradigm for how public health works in this country," says Stein.

Are you still Jill, not Hill? This might make you reconsider.

Back in March, Stein spoke at an event held by Safe Tech for Schools Maryland, a group of "parents, teachers and concerned citizens calling for safe technology in schools." They go on to say that, "Wireless is radiation that many physicians say is unsafe. Solutions exist! Let's do it!"

After condemning screen usage, saying, "We should be moving away from screens at all levels of education, not moving into them," Stein expressed her concerns about "the wireless" in schools:

This same psuedo-scientific issue has plagued Portland, too. In 2011, Portland Public Schools spent $172,000 in public money fighting a parent's lawsuit over Wi-Fi concerns.

David Morrison runs the Wireless Watch website in Portland. In 2011, he sued Portland Public Schools, claiming that its use of Wi-Fi was harmful.

When I read him Stein's quote, he responded, "That's fantastic."

"I think it's absolutely fantastic and I have never heard anyone in politics in this country say anything like that," he says. "She's obviously very broadly informed."

When I asked Morrison about what he would tell people who will argue Stein is anti-science, he said that it wasn't really was absolutely a scientific issue.

"It has nothing everything to do with science, really. It has to do with that there are many of thousands peer-reviewed stories that show anthrobiological effects from microwaves. It's not speculative. She's pro-human; she's pro-child," he says.

Morrison says he doesn't want Trump or Hillary to win, but if either embraced this platform, he would vote for them.

"I would vote for Trump if he took a similar stance," he says. "I'm going to vote for Jill Stein."

Note: David Morrison called WW the day after the piece was published to state that what he meant to say was that this issue is absolutely scientific. He says it has been backed up by several scientists and studies. You can find more information here.
