This story sparked the biggest response I've ever gotten on Twitter. I simply posted a photo of a student's certificate that read "most likely to become a terrorist." That's right. What a teacher apparently thought was a funny joke ended up drawing the ire of people around the world. I think that initial tweet ended up being liked or retweeted 500,000+ times. We later ended up identifying the teacher (who was fired) and talking with this student and her mother again.
