Children, teens, and adults will be angry, and it's important for 
people to be able to have their anger. It's also important to direct 
the anger at the people who actually DID the deed (or even those 
who might have done the deed) rather than people who simply happen to 
be the same religion, ethnicity, blood type, gender, or 
some other demographic as the (suspected) perpetrators.

It might be useful to draw some parallels between our feelings today 
and the feelings of the people who incarcerated the Japanese in the 
1940s. A fairly short book I can recommend is "Under the Blood Red 
Sun." It's really more of a middle school or upper elementary book, 
but as such it's short and a quick read by highschoolers. It's about a 
Japanese boy living in Hawaii at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, 
and what happens to him and his family.
