“CHANNELVIEW - After a seventh grader at Lance Cpl. Anthony Aguirre Junior High School brought home a controversial award from her teacher that read, "Most Likely to Become a Terrorist," the community has weighed in.

Lizeth Villanueva, the 13-year-old who received the award, said other students got awards too.”
