A government teaching pack, provided to secondary schools throughout the UK, has been strongly criticized for asking children as young as ten years old to imagine themselves as suicide bombers.

The teaching pack contains an exercise in which children are required to “prepare a brief presentation on the 7/7 bombings from the perspective of the bombers”. Pupils are asked to put themselves in the shoes of terrorists and provide possible justifications for carrying out attacks such as the ones on the London transport network in July 2005.

The pack has also been adopted by several police forces across the country.

We, the undersigned, demand the British government to remove the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, Ed Balls MP from government for his incompetence!
