That's not the point is it? Schools are meant to be protecting children from accessing such material not actively encouraging them to research it via potentially dangerous sites.
Why is there not a learning tool with appropriate Web pages of information if they are to form some kind of definition on these topics?
Can a 13yr old define these topics...hell I don't know if I could define many of those without coming away traumatised. Shockingly bad lesson plan.
