School terror lesson to kill Australians: Is there educative potential here or just poor professional judgement?
Jon Austin, The Freire Project, August 26, 2010.

When I was a kid we played war and somebody always had to play the Germans (it's hard to believe I was born only 14 years after the end of the Second World War, hm?). That's the essence of play - imaging, considering, mapping out scenarios. That's also how you learn. Yes, I know it's fashionable (and reactionary) to say you should never do things like learn how to plot a terrorist attack. But if you have no conception of how such an attack is planned, how do you possibly spot it, and respond to it? Ignorance is not education.
