ROY, Utah?? A Utah high school student bragged to police that he was smarter than the Columbine killers and was plotting with an older student to set off a bomb during a school assembly, then escape in a stolen plane, court documents say.

Dallin Morgan, 18, and the 16-year-old boy were pulled out of school Wednesday and arrested after authorities learned of the plot, Roy police spokeswoman Anna Bond said Thursday.

The students prepared by logging hundreds of hours on flight simulator software on their home computers, and they planned to take a plane at Ogden Hinckley Airport after the bombing, Bond said.

The juvenile hinted at the plan in text messages to a friend, writing that both suspects wanted “revenge on the world” and “we have a plan to get away with it too.”

He hinted at the plan by writing “explosives, airport, airplane” and added, “We’re just gonna kill and fly our way to a country that won’t send us back to the US,” according to a probable cause statement police filed to make the arrests late Wednesday.

The Associated Press isn’t naming the 16-year-old because he is a minor.

The juvenile told investigators he was so “fascinated” by the 1999 Columbine High School massacre that he visited the Littleton, Colo., school and interviewed the principal about the shootings that killed 13 people. Roy police said the principal, Frank DeAngelis, confirmed that the boy made his visit Dec. 12.

‘Absolute knowledge’ of school security
Morgan was being held on $10,000 bail at Weber County jail on suspicion of conspiracy to commit mass destruction. The juvenile was in custody at Weber Valley Detention Center on the same charge. Prosecutors were weighing possible additional charges.

Both students had “absolute knowledge of the security systems and the layout of the school,” Bond said. “They knew where the security cameras were. Their original plan was to set off explosives during an assembly. We don’t know what date they were planning to do this, but they had been planning it for months.”

School officials said there were no imminent plans to hold a school assembly.

Local and federal agents searched the school, two vehicles belonging to the suspects and their homes but found no explosives. The FBI is examining the suspects’ computers, police said.

The parents of both students “woke up in the middle of a nightmare,” Bond said. “They’ve been very cooperative.”

The other Roy High School student who received text messages tipped authorities to the plot Wednesday, said the school’s safety specialist, Nate Taggart.

The student “came forward and had some suspicions but not a lot of information ? enough that it gave administration the ability to make some connections and identify the students involved,” Taggart said.

The school has about 1,500 students.

A teacher from Burbank, Calif., who wrote his thesis about WWE, tells Teachers? Corner about how he motivates high schoolers by sharing his passion for WWE:

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello, I am a lifelong WWE fan and a high school teacher. I teach 10th and 12th grade English. I reference WWE many times during the course of the school year to emphasize literary terminology. For example, when describing conflict, I often reference feuding Superstars in WWE. Also, when discussing a story arc, or plot, I make reference to the journey that a WWE match provides to the audience.

Most recently, my 10th graders have been reading the play Cyrano de Bergerac, and I have been using WWE references to help describe how Cyrano is able to turn the emotions of a crowd of people from hate to love for him like WWE Superstars do.

Finally, I always begin the school year by explaining to my students that they can write about anything and to truly find their own passion for writing. I explain to them that I found my passion for writing in high school through WWE. As a high school student, I would write out storylines for WWE Superstars and use my imagination to create feuds, stables and tag teams. I inform my students that I later wrote my Master of Arts in English thesis about WWE and professional wrestling. There are not many high school teachers that I know of who wrote a thesis utilizing WWE! For me, as a teacher, I am able to use WWE as a tool for motivation and explanation in talking about culture, media, and academics. I even have a WWE SmackDown poster in my classroom next to my desk!

Thank You,

A former music teacher shares his memories about using WWE theme music in his classroom:

Approximately 10 years ago, when I taught eighth grade band, I?d discuss the WWE theme songs with my students.

We?d talk about how the various tempo and instrumentation helped to tell the story of the characters ? Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin ? all had unique music that helped to define the character.

A student shares with Teachers? Corner how he created a school project about WWE, be a STAR and John Cena?s involvement with Make-A-Wish Foundation:

Hey!

I’m truly not a teacher, but a student, and I’d like to share my story.

In class, my teacher told us to do a presentation of somebody or some company that helped the community somehow, and I, a true fan of WWE, prepared a presentation on WWE, telling my teacher and the whole class about its partnership with Make-A-Wish Foundation and be a STAR! My teacher liked the presentation a lot and loved what I showed her. It was fun for everyone, because some knew a little bit of WWE and knew names like John Cena ? one of the biggest wish granters in Make-A-Wish Foundation!

WWE.com received a letter from physical education teacher in Australia who uses WWE DVDs as a reward:

Hi,

I am a P.E teacher in Australia, and I have used WWE DVDs in my classes to show my students a sport that they enjoy watching at the end of every lesson if they have worked well in the class. The DVDs belong to my son who is 15 years old, but he has no problem letting me borrow them to show them to my students and it actually works. It actually makes the students do their work like I tell them because they enjoy it so much. Thanks, WWE.

Teachers’ Corner also received a letter from an educator who creates unique WWE-based games and uses Superstars? entrance themes in his history lessons:

My name is Paul Wulff and I am a High School Intervention Specialist at Ohio Virtual Academy. I have been a teacher for eight years and I have used WWE in my classroom since I began teaching in 2002. As a lifelong member of the WWE Universe, I have used WWE as a launching point for students to gain rapport with me in the classroom.

In my first years as a teacher I worked in an alternative school where the students were given a last resort of school or juvenile hall. My catchphrase in class was always ?prove them wrong,? which came from a former WWE Superstar. I also began designing my own educational board games. ? Our common love for WWE, combined with my educational games, were the first steps in my three successful years there for not only me, but my students as well.???

Fast forward to 2009 when I joined the Ohio Virtual Academy, a public charter online school, and was given the task to teach a support session online to ninth grade students across Ohio in the history course Modern World Studies. I had a very successful session that first year because I used my webcam, random sound effects, music and made them fun by using my background in acting. I was also able to use my board games in a virtual way as well. ?? At the end of my second year, I used this love for WWE and became the most attended session with 171 students with introducing theme music to start my session.? ?

Along with my usage of WWE theme music, my games, humor and acting abilities on the webcam, I have also begun wearing my WWE shirts on camera, especially CM Punk?s ?Best in the World? shirt. I have also taken from Zack Ryder by ending my session with ?take care,? although not completely using the whole closing statement since I am bald. I have also been doing my best Michael Cole impression when I introduce the class by saying, ?We are coming to you live from my office in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. You are watching the longest running episodic support session in OHVA history! Welcome everyone to Modern World Studies!?

I have completely transformed my online support sessions into my own personal radio/webcast ? where I teach special needs and regular education students the ways to complete their assignments on time, pass tests, take notes, study and learn all things history. ? I would not be where I am today if it were not for WWE, its theme music and its inspiration for me to make school fun again.

Thank you,

Paul Wulff

High School Intervention Specialist
