Teachers Give 13-Year-Old Girl ‘Most Likely to Become a Terrorist’ Award

A number of teachers at Anthony Aguirre Junior High in Channelview, Texas, are under fire after they held a mock awards ceremony on Tuesday and named a 13-year-old student “most likely to become a terrorist.” 

Lizeth Villanueva, a seventh grader, received a certificate from one teacher, and said that copies of the same certificate were given to several other students while other students and teachers “watched and laughed.” 

Ena Hernandez, Lizeth’s mother, found the certificate strange because Lizeth is in an advanced academic program and has never been in trouble.
