Not really.
If critical thinking were the end result there are thousands of topics to choose from that would yield the same benefit but would be a positive experience and something that might actually better society rather than how to be a terrorist.

There are only so many hours in a day for teaching, why spend it teaching a negative? Turn it around, use it productively. Sure, some may think about this outside of class without teacher guidance. But that is only some, a very small percentage. Teach this in class and 100% of them do.
