High School class assignment: Plan a terrorist attack. Thankfully, this was not in an American school, but it would not surprise me to see it in one. While this might make sense at University level for more mature students, the lessons of Columbine and just simple common sense should tell a teacher that this is a bad idea.
I think that it is important for students to understand the perspectives around terrorism, not to excuse it but that by better understanding its origins and logic that we may more effectively prevent attacks and even engage in a process to reduce the drive to attack.
