True as far as it goes, but at some point children should learn that 9/11 was part of a jihad, and what the word "jihad" means.
Our politically correct schools are unlikely to do so.

When I was growing up an event I remember was the Soviet Union invading Afghanistan in 1979. "Bad people invading" is not a false description of that event, but a parent would need to talk about the Cold War to put the invasion in context. 9/11 also needs to be put in context.
