Flutterby™! : "Alarming new trend"

NewsChannel9 Oklahoma City reports on "Digital Drugs" (YouTube video), audio files which may induce trance states like... gasp... drugs:

Recently Mustang public schools sent out a letter warning parents about the new trend, after several high school students reported having physiological effects after trying one of these digital downloads.

The stupid, it burns. And, remember folks, these are potential voters. As Report: Teens Using Digital Drugs to Get High | Threat Level | Wired.com observes:

Perhaps most importantly, what will happen if the kids move onto harder stuff like Steve Reich, Philip Glass or even Janet Cardiff’s installation, “The Killing Machine“?

Hat tip to Micah Breedlove.

Addendum: The Mustang Public Schools web page is advertising for new hires, and says:

Previously, Mustang Public Schools required a felony check for Oklahoma only.

Unfortunately, the "not a moron" test isn't necessary before sending out alarmist letters about "the music kids these days are listening to" to parents.
