It's okay because states should allows schools to discriminate.

How drunk were the teachers when they came up with this idea?

Not sure what she looks like, but if shes on the tan side, then to most people you're brown. If you're brown you're as bad as the rest.

What a shocker that this happened in Texas. I would hope that there is something done about this but knowing the culture there she'll probably get a raise and a promotion. Pretty sad people can defend this with a straight face saying it was a joke.

 

[HiiiLife]

Oh no Texas what is you doin baby

 

[ffdgh]

And they thought this made for a great joke how exactly?

Yep, I get that a lot on Facebook. I'm a Californian bad hombre who needs to get deported despite telling people I was born and raised in California.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

Man some people are truly fucked.

 

[azyless]

Wow, teachers bullying kids, so clever and fun.

 

[fallengorn]

Jesus, the other awards are bad but can you imagine a teacher giving you “most likely to become homeless”?

 

[jaxpunk]

Let's get the teacher's email and mail her an "Most likely to be unemployed" award.

That would be the adult thing to do, dox the woman.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Probably because of "Villan"

But...kind of reminds me of that Chapo Trap House podcast on why conservatives aren't funny. That's pretty fucked up.

to be completely fair, if the answer isn't "flask" then i dont know what the fuck the answer is

the question itself is so off-throwing that i legitimately can't think of a non-possibly-offensive answer

 

[Chanser]

WTF?

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

What the hell? I mean, I remember getting these joke rewards before, but all I got was "most likely to be a card shark."

Really f'd up to do that

 

[ahoyhoy]

Once DeVos gets her way she'll be able to earn the "Most likely to be a bad Hombre" award she deserves.

 

[Verano]

Someone needs to hand them a an award that reads "Most likely to be fired"

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Fucking wankers. It's not funny and those kids could be getting bullied about this shit for years. Fire the bastards and ruin their names so they can never get a job in teaching again, because they're clearly not fit for it.

 

[LiK]

And they thought this made for a great joke how exactly?

Yup, probably thought it was funny in the teacher's lounge so let's do it for real and laugh about it. Good lord, they are so stupid.

 

[Aselith]

“poor attempt to poke fun”

I would actually like to hear them explain what they were poking fun at. What about this child made you think she was most likely to be a terrorist?

Let's get them on a camera so they can explain that one.

 

[metalslimer]

First thought was folder but that's too broad.

Flag.

 

[meppi]

They are fucking morons. These are children! They should get awards for being idiots.

That's a bit cruel don't you think?
They can't all be child prodigies.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Reminds me of when I was a kid and one of my asshole teachers gave us "gifts" at the end of the year. He gave me a pin that read "Don't be so humble, you're not that great." Cool, thanks teach.

 

[rtcn63]

First thought was folder but that's too broad.

Well it's definitely not "fucks", because then it'd be zero.

 

[DrArchon]

You gotta be a really special kind of stupid to come up with an idea solely based around insulting little kids. Like, they're fucking kids, you morons.

 

[Krakatoa]

I have no fucking words..

Yeah, I have no idea either.

EDIT:

Flag.

Okay, I thought it might be a cultural difference. You don't get stuff like that in classrooms here in the UK.

 

[Pankratous]

This is hilarious if only because it's completely fucking absurd

How can this happen in this day and age? How can they think this is acceptable? Even if you take out the terrorist award, the rest are fucking abysmal as well.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Those are some fucked up awards.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

This will stay with this kid for the remainder of her life.

 

[100%TrophyMaster]

Teacher needs to be fired ASAP---that is messed up

Answer is realistically flask.

 

[Johndoey]

Come on now. Even if your dumbass thinks this shit is funny at some point you'd have to realize all the ways it would backfire.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

fucking Texas.

 

[Messofanego]

Did they hand out "Most likely to be a rapist" and "...pedophile"? Would seem about in line with their lack of taste in "jokes".

Texas always in competition with Florida for dumbness. I don't think G/A/F is enough.

 

[Kickz]

Some of these teachers..

Prove me wrong, kids!

LMAO, Simpson's gif for everything...

 

[Obscura]

I remember these joke awards from when I was a kid. We had stuff like "most likely to become a rock star", not this heartless shit.

Teacher needs to be fired and if any other employees knew about it, them too.

 

[ladyluthien]

What the fuck?! How is this supposed to be funny.

 

[caliph95]

Come on now. Even if your dumbass thinks this shit is funny at some point you'd have to realise all the ways it would backfire.

This is the kinda shit you gossip in the teachers lounge because how frustrating students can be not give awards and such

 

[LordKasual]

Flag?

Answer is realistically flask.

.....oh

and when someone says "flask", my mind immediately goes a chemistry flask, which is obviously just as inapproporite for a kindergarden classroom as the UK version of one

 

[Tom Nook]

nvm.

 

[Niks]

Oh yes, the old "it was supposed to be joke" situation rears its head again.

Common sense is truly dead.

 

[megalowho]

As a teacher, I can confirm that other teachers say this kind of shit (less so the terrorist thing and more the other two awards mentioned in the article, but still) about their students behind their backs all the time. Student gossip is like the #1 subject of conversation. I always found it extremely serpentine and unprofessional. This is crossing too many lines.

Yeah, my first thought was this sounds like teacher's lounge shit talking that someone had the great idea to turn into a "funny" award ceremony for their students.

 

[marrec]

Yay

 

[Slayven]

When you are so racist you put your livelihood at risk

 

[LiK]

This will stay with this kid for the remainder of her life.

Yep, might seem harmless but now she'll have this shitty memory of school and her self-esteem has been shaken. Really fucked up. This is what bullies do to people.

 

[LordKasual]

Is this the Teacher? The signature from the Certificate.

keep the vigilante bullshit to a minimum, thanks

i'm sure the school and the parents are well enough equipped to handle this themselves

 

[Luminaire]

Meanwhile, the school found the award they were given "Most Likely To Get Sued" far less amusing.
