Florida Memorial University is planning to award Trayvon Martin a posthumous bachelor of science degree in aviation during its commencement ceremonies this Saturday.
Didnt think of Trayvon as the scholarly type, did you?
Since his death in 2012, Martin, the 17-year-old thug who was fatally shot during a fight with George Zimmerman, has been made into a martyr.
According to Sybrina Fulton, Trayvons mother, Trayvon wanted to be a pilot or an airplane mechanic. But he was far from a model student. According to reports, Trayvon had been suspended twice that school year before his death for offenses that should have gotten him arrested once for getting caught with a burglary tool and a dozen items of female jewelry, the second time for being found with marijuana.
In 2010, Chief Charles Hurley of the Miami-Dade School Police Department implemented a policy that lowered the number of criminal reports, altering statistics to create the impression that crime was dropping within the school system. Crimes were being reported as disciplinary infractions. If Chief Hurley and the Miami-Dade School District had done their jobs, Trayvon may have gotten the wake-up call needed to change his life.

He’s grounded now.
he be good now . ..
I know this isn’t nice to say, but Trayvon has accomplished more in death than he did in life.
I think we should use this nonsense to make fun of other such nonsense. That is, “award” Trayvon Martin the awards that leftists and liberals give each other.
The Nobel Peace Prize.
The Profiles In Courage Award.
Grammy Award for cellphone voice messaging.
Pulitzer Prize for best text messaging.
NAACP Image Award.
Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

Wello, Travon was a space cadet.
Opportunity presented or at least available and not acted on, is/was still an opportunity right? Even without special treatment.
Did he even finish high school?
This is ridiculous stuff, IMO.
You forgot the James Beard award - for Purple Drank.
Another thug we don’t have to worry about.
You forgot to include the Lifetime Achievement Award from Variety. Oh wait ... they gave that to Chelsea Clinton.
Trayvon was headed for a prison scholarship
Oh, He’s all set then.
Florida Memorial ? Do they just give degrees out to dead people ?
sad when you are worth more to society dead .. it makes it a lot easier to extol virtue and ignore vice.
Anyone know how much money she’s made off her dead thug that she let someone else raise?
Wondering if his future “career” in aeronautics would have amounted to a smaller paycheck than he could make at the local 7-11 whether working there or robbing it.

I'm sorry he's dead but he put himself in that situation and he was allowed to get to that point by useless school officials and useless parents...
but he still had a choice...
