Terrorism in the classroom - One lesson titled, "Tolerance in Times of Trial," explores "the problems inherent in assigning blame to populations or nations of people by looking at contemporary examples of ethnic conflict, discrimination and stereotyping at home and abroad." While students "brainstorm a list of descriptors that come to mind when they hear the word 'terrorist,' " teachers are to "note how many times 'Arab,' 'Middle East,' or 'Muslim' get mentioned," before asking the students if they think "this characterization is fair" and whether it compares "to the characterization of Japanese-Americans and German-Americans during World War II."
