Teacher Asks Students To Plan a Terrorist Attack

Posted by samzenpus on from the one-heck-of-a-take-home-test dept.

Tired of looking at an endless parade of dioramas, an Australian teacher had her class plan a terrorist attack that would "kill as many innocent Australians as possible." "The teacher, with every best intention, was attempting to have the students think through someone else's eyes about conflict. I think there are better ways to do that. ... This is not what we expect of professional educators," said Sharyn O'Neill, director-general of the state's Department of Education.

    Step 1: Become a middle ground conservative politician with links to big business and high morals. Work your way up into positions of incredible power. You will be controlling money and military might. When nobody expects it, do an about face, abuse your power and position, negate your morals and play out your evil terrorist plans. At first nobody will believe that you are actually doing something bad. In fact they have so much trust in you, they think you are protecting them. It will take a while before it sinks in to the general populace, maybe it never really does. By then, of course, the damage is already done.
    Step 2: ???
    Step 3: Profit.
