We Must Have Been Sleeping...

... because the California PTA made a formal RESOLUTION in 2001 to oppose cell towers and wireless devices in schools.    Here's the text for the wireless resolution from California if you would like to read it.

Here comes Georgia TEN YEARS LATER and our PTA says what?  "We don't take sides on issues like these."  Really?  Tell that to California.  They are light years ahead of us in education, safe use of wireless, going green, solar power... maye it's time to move!  Oh, that's right!  Those darn property values won't let any of us go anywhere right now, will they?

Well, while you are stuck in DeKalb similar to the way that drivers are now stuck in worse  traffic thanks to the NOT-SO-HOT lanes, at least you can enjoy a few good short films, courtesy of the Caliornia PTA.  Pinch me when the Georgia PTA gets on board and stops trying to pretend like they aren't hiding the cell tower money somewhere. 

The one exception to this 'teasing' of the PTA is Briarlake.  They may have agreed with Womack in the beginning, but they sure did a 180 degree turn when they realized they were not fairly representing their community thanks to a little publicity courtesy of GTCO-ATL.  Last we heard they were drafting a resoltuion.  I asked if they would then give it to the state PTA and I got a laugh.  The Briarlake parent told me, "I don't think they are that serious." 

So, what does it take to get serious?  We are!   Are you?
