Cancer Cluster At California Elementary School Results In Removal Of Sprint Cell Phone Tower

• https://www.zerohedge.com, By Tyler Durden

Weston Elementary School in Ripon, CA went on high alert after the controversy erupted two years ago - with some parents even pulling their children from school over the tower which Sprint has been paying the school $2,000 per month to place on its property.

The Ripon Unified School District initially defended the cell phone tower earlier this month, with board president Kit Oase saying tests done on the tower had found it was operating within safety standards. 

Monica Ferrulli, whose son was treated for brain cancer in 2017, said RUSD has cited an obsolete American Cancer Society study in keeping the tower in place since the controversy erupted two years ago. "It is just denial," Ferrulli told the board. She vowed that parents will continue to fight and keep their children out of the school. -Modesto Bee

Around 200 parents attended a meeting after a fourth student was diagnosed with cancer on March 8. 

Richard Rex, whose family lives across the street from Weston School, said a bump appeared on his 11-year-old son's abdomen a month ago. He said his son's classroom is near the tower.
