Kalgoorlie students asked to plan lethal 'terror attack' (http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/kalgoorlie-students-asked-to-plan-lethal-terror-attack/story-e6frg12c-1225909713105)
STUDENTS at a West Australian high school have been asked to plan a terrorist attack that would kill as many innocent people as possible as part of an assignment.
The society and environment teacher at the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School asked Year 10 students to pretend they were a terrorist planning a chemical or biological attack on "an unsuspecting Australian community", it was reported this morning.
"Your goal is to kill the MOST innocent civilians in order to get your message across," the assignment said.
The students had to explain their choice of victims and decide the best time and place for their attack.
Fifteen-year-old student Sarah Gilbert said she was horrified to get the assignment because if that sort of thing was found in your house you'd be arrested.
Is the teacher’s name Mohammed? Is this teacher insane? What is she going to do, sell the best plan to real terrorists?
I remember the good ‘ol days back in the ‘70s when my teacher would tape a painting on the blackboard and tell us to write an essay about it.
