Lizeth Villanueva is a thirteen year old kinda brown Salvadorean American Honor Student with zero history of disciplinary problems at Anthony Aguirre Junior High in Channelview, Texas, near Houston.
Sure, she’s a cute kid, an honors student who’s never been anything other than a credit to her school, but still there’s still that troublesome slight excess of brownness she insists on displaying - so what could be more natural than her teachers practicing their comedic stylings by honoring her with a vicious, stupidly racist and imminently tenure endangering award?
”On Tuesday, her teacher gave her a “most likely to become a terrorist” award. It was supposed to be a joke, part of a mock end-of-the-year awards ceremony at Anthony Aguirre Junior High in Channelview, Tex., near Houston, where a group of teachers hand certificates to students. Lizeth, 13, said her teacher “just laughed” when she signed and handed her the certificate, just one day after the Manchester arena terrorist attack in Britain.”
Oh, those funny teachers, sure to be the talk of teachers lounges across the old Confederacy of Dunces for their madcap sense of humor and off the hook cut and paste skills.
“The three other teachers in the room laughed when the awards were handed out, according to Lizeth.”
Lest we be concerned that the other children in her class felt slighted that Lizeth garnered all the honors cooked up by the madcap teachers, this hilarious bunch also presented one little boy with a “most likely to become homeless” certificate of humor as well as another young girl who was awarded the much coveted “most likely to cry for every little thing” consolation prize.
The school district, of course, issued a quick mea culpa.
“The Channelview ISD Administration would like to apologize for the insensitive and offensive fake mock awards that were given to students in a classroom. Channelview ISD would like to assure all students, parents and community members that these award statements and ideals are not representative of the district’s vision, mission and educational goals for our students. The teachers involved in this matter have been disciplined according to district policy and the incident is still under investigation.”
Uh, guys, that’s nice and all, but these asses should be “disciplined” out the door.
