It really drives me crazy when people talk about things being inappropriate for high school students. While they're in school we have to protect them from the big bad world but the day they turn 18/graduate, they're supposed to be critically thinking citizens capable of handling all the rights and responsibilities. When the hell are they supposed to learn how; major cram session that night?
High school is the place explicitly for cultivating adults.
This lesson plays right into that thought line and I actually think this has the potential to be a fantastic civics lesson. It's a shame that in our world today this teacher is more than likely going to get fired. Maybe not in Austrailia though, where they tend to be a bit more laid back.
In the US there is actually probably a law against it, somewhere in the patriot act.
