  5. Concerns About Cell Phone Tower Radio Frequency Radiation • Cell phone transmitting antennas are placed at elevation to obtain maximum coverage and minimize direct human exposure • Cell phones radiate next to your brain; multiple studies have failed to reveal a statistically significant health risk, and they are used by free choice • Yet, local school boards provide computers and Wi-Fi radiation to students, and yet students protest the cell tower • Yet, “Smart Meters”, installed County-wide without citizen approval, are now responsible for documented complaints of health effects in many states related to the unique radiation character of their radio transmission technology

  6. Albemarle County School Board Goals • “Goal 1: Prepare all students to succeed as members of a global community and in a global economy.” • Not one word about the uniqueness of first being members or citizens of the United States • Does the school board not recognize the uniqueness of our American heritage, especially here in Virginia? • Does the school board equate “global community” with the United Nations “One World” mind-set?
