‘Terrorist’ prize angers
A Houston-area school is apologising after a seventh grade student was given an award that named her ‘‘most likely to become a terrorist’’. Lizeth Villanueva got the certificate during a mock awards ceremony after the official awards ceremony at Anthony Aguirre Junior High. Her mother, Ena Hernandez, was furious and said her daughter was hurt. Lizeth said the teacher meant the awards to be funny but added that ‘‘I do not feel comfortable with this’’. The school district said the teachers involved had been disciplined.
