Default Re: Students plan terror attack.

I think if it had been in America the teacher would have lost his job instantly - just because of the hysteria attached to anything using the term "terrorist".

While I do get it, that this was just an assignment, I am a little unnerved that they are being asked to think of ways to kill so many innocent people. I mean, during a time of mass shootings in schools etc. who knows what ideas these could give to a person. But then, I think games like Simcity emulate disasters that kill thousands, and show it to you as it's happening, or have you play as evil characters who have no mercy or conscience...I guess this is really no different. Many people's first instinct is to be horrified before putting it into perspective. I guess the headmaster had the capacity to see this.
