I wonder if all of those parents involved in this law suit would be willing to sign an affidavit stating that they do not and have not ever used a portable telephone, cell phone, microwave oven, color TV, baby monitor or other high frequency wireless device in their homes or the presence of children. All or most of the foregoing are as dangerous or more so than Wi-Fi networks.
This is a silly lawsuit that shouldn't see the light of day. Wi-Fi networks in the city parks would be the least of our environmental concerns.
The article actually does not make it clear that the school in question is even using Wi-Fi, but then the article writer probably doesn't have much of a clue about wireless networks anyway. The article does state the school started using wireless in 1995, which was before the Wi-Fi Alliance was even formed (in 1999).

harm their children.
