Capistrano School District Ban Round Up/Glyphosate from being sprayed near our children!
Capistrano School District Ban Round Up/Glyphosate from being sprayed near our children!
The Issue
Dear Kirsten M Vital,
As the superintendent of Capistrano unified school district we, your families of students and staff, request that you protect us and our communities by banning Roundup and Glyphosate containing products from being sprayed on or near our school grounds.
California EPA Prop 65 Carcinogen List mandated that all products in California containing the chemical “glyphosate,” key ingredient in Roundup, were to have carried a WARNING label, identifying them as cancer and reproductive harm-causing product mixtures, by Saturday, July 7, 2018. Monsanto sued and has temporarily stopped this 30-year practice of labeling. Thus, glyphosate, carries no warning label today. Yet...the judge agreed to keep glyphosate on the Prop 65 List, acknowledging that glyphosate is a carcinogen...but he has excluded the warning label which would notify us consumers of its toxicity?? Unacceptable!
We think everyone deserves to know! These products should not be sprayed where our children play!
We call on CUSD today to protect us, your students and staff depend on you to ban Roundup (and all glyphosate herbicides) now, due to its carcinogenic effects on humans. It is our job to protect our children, teachers and staff members at CUSD.
Dwayne Johnson, a 46 year old grounds keeper for the Benicia, CA Unified School District, and father of three young boys, is currently in court in San Francisco putting Monsanto on trial for causing his Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer because the glyphosate products he used at work carried no cancer warning label.
By the end of the year, over 10,000 people are also expected to sue Monsanto for the same kinds of exposures Dewayne Johnson experienced using glyphosate-based products. There are many safe, non-toxic alternatives on the market today. There is no need to use a known carcinogen. Glyphosate kills bacteria in the gut and the gastrointestinal system is 80% of the immune system. Will you remove Roundup from our Schools?
Thank you!
From, Parents and students in Capo valley School district.
