RTP-area local music and culture

Let's get it straight. I (not a "she") am the one who
wrote "You know what's really sad? There's nothing
unbelievable about this kind of overreaction at all
these days."  

What I meant was that parents these days are
overprotective and controlling about what kids
hear/say/wear/do, etc. 

Just the other day I heard a girl was suspended from
school for doing cartwheels on the playground — she
may get hurt, school officials reasoned. 

And, as we all know, any kind of protest against the
government is perceived as a near-treasonous threat
THESE DAYS.

Are we clear now? I guess you were referring to a link
to a different article. Here's the one I was referring
to:
