CHANNELVIEW, Texas (KTRK) -- A Channelview teacher is out of a job after a student received a mock award naming her "most likely to become a terrorist."

Certificates given to the 13-year-old girl and other junior high students were supposed to be lighthearted. The girl's mother, Ena Hernandez, says she was upset by the certificate given to her daughter.
