There is a big difference between learning about being a terrorist, and learning about terrorism. And this crosses the line.
When I was 15 I was aware of some messed up shit. 15 is three short years away from setting the kid free to go out and live on their own, they should be aware of what a terrorist is capable of, and the best way to do that is get then inside the head of one. Critical thinking and problem solving at it's finest, like MSD said. A 15 year old can and will realize the meaning of this assignment. I doubt this would do any traumatic damage to teens and if I was 15 I'd be insulted that you look down on me as being "too innocent" to learn about a true problem in this world.
