A South Florida university awarded an honorary degree to Trayvon Martin, Saturday.

Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, took the stage at Florida Memorial University’s commencement in Miami Gardens to receive a posthumous bachelor’s degree in aeronautical science on their son’s behalf.

Fulton and Martin said the ceremony was bittersweet, and now they’re passing on an inspirational message to Trayvon’s fellow graduates.

“To the graduates, I tell you, there is no limit to what you can do,” said Fulton. “Just stay focused and put your mind to it, and you can do it.”

Most of his peers aspire to be rappers or community organizers.Yet Obama's boy became a rocket scientist.

Good breeding will always tell!

>>message to Trayvon’s fellow graduates’

The message is that they worked hard for a degree, but St Trayvon got his for being stupid enough to attack a citizen who was legally carrying a concealed handgun.

A future astronaut was gunned down. It makes it all the more senseless.

He died grounding and pounding. Maybe he should have been given the degree in MMA.

So anyone still want to know if this was a student or not?Release any juvenile record he had to the public.

I said this in another thread: If I worked in Aviation, I’d be leery of hiring anyone with a degree from this school, even if he legitimately busted his butt to get it. The university doesn’t realize, or doesn’t care, that doing this has tarnished all graduates.

Par for the "culture"  these days...

“To do what is right for some else, even though you know it may not go well for you, that is the character trait we are missing in the Air Force today. I believe integrity has gone to the waste side at USAFA “
—Staff Sergeant Brandon Enos, (USAFOSI “Operation Gridiron”)

Ol' Trayvon would've fit in well amongst the cadre of the culture of aeronautical scientist date-rapists SSGT Enos described!

I always thought Zimmerman was kind of a creepy guy....to be clear, but Treyvon Martin was ultimately in the wrong by attacking Zimmerman. Like you, I believe Martin was headed for a life of Thuggery (unless he got lucky somehow and someone stepped in and put him on the right track). It’s too late for that now. Unfortunately and sadly, he died leading the life of a thug. It’s amazing to me that they are trying to build him up as some sort of civil rights icon. Martin was no more headed to college at the time of his demise than I’m headed to medical school to become a brain surgeon. Politics is a crazy business.

“Florida Memorial University is ranked #2407 in ethnic diversity nationwide with a student body composition that is below the national average. However, this college is a HBCU (Historically Black College or University) with a principal mission of serving and educating the black community. When available, the chart below also explores ethnic diversity among the faculty at Florida Memorial University,”

I drive past the restored entrance arch for their original location, every time I’m on the way in to St. Augustine.

At one point, I had considered donating some money...

This particular story cured me of that notion.

Look at FMU’s web site and you will see why they did this.

That would be double jeopardy and redundant.
