WYANDOTTE, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – A T-Mobile 5G tower placed on school property in Wyandotte has stirred up controversy.

Parents and guardians were looking for answers from the superintendent of the Wyandotte City School District, but those questions weren’t answered after the meeting was abruptly canceled.

The potential effects of radiation are what parents and residents have reservations about.

During last week’s meeting, parents told CBS News Detroit, they are not against the tower, just its location outside of Washington Elementary School.

“Our position is we are not against cell towers, we just don’t want them on schools,” Josh Castmore said.
