This study questions whether the perspectives of security and intelligence serve educators well enough in the early stages of radicalization. Assigned to signal deviant behaviour, educators are unwittingly drawn into a villain-victim imagery of their students. This imagery seems to impede a genuine educational outlook on radicalization. Key notions of this outlook may be ‘critically addressing ideals’ and ‘forming pedagogical coalitions’.
